“Chromosome analysis reveals male karyotype”.
Never in the history of language have such dull-sounding words revealed something so extraordinary. Because the meaning behind “chromosome” and “male karyotype” in this instance is that the world cheered rapturously at the sight of a burly bloke from Algeria pummeling the living daylights out of female fighters before stealing their chance at Olympic gold. Those of us who spoke up - including his female opponents - were silenced.
That this was allowed to happen - that the BBC heralded it as some landmark victory for progress - makes this one of the greatest sporting tragedies of all time. Worse still is the fact that most people outside of this social media sphere are not even aware.
Sure, they heard murmurings at the time about evil bigots - such as me and you, dear reader - who called into question the sex of one of the boxers. They even understood that this was an issue of chromosomes and likely a case of an intersex person (about which the general public and organisations such as Amnesty International know even less).
But few of them thought it was even possible that Imane (the clue is literally in the name) might be a man. Even the sight of Khelif being carried away in victory on the shoulders of his male coach - in stark relief to the disgusting way Muslim boxer Khabib Nurmagomedov refused to shake pundit Kate Abdo’s hand this week (she apologised for extending hers) - was not enough to conjure up doubt in the majority of viewers.
We live in strange times.
There was a time when the alternative media didn’t seem to get much right. There were unproven theories about a fake moon landing and bizarre ideas around Flat Earth. Today, we inhabit a world in which the careers of those who suggested that COVID-19 was formed accidentally in a lab (the leading theory today) were destroyed.
I worry constantly that I might be wrong. Those who can’t imagine they might be the bad guys are almost always the bad guys. But when I see mainstream journalists being so utterly wrong - such as Rory Stewart’s claims Trump wouldn’t win or the entire legacy media’s shock at Brexit - you start to realise they have no handle on reality.
The onus, then, is on us - the alternative media and you, our subscribers - to change the narrative to focus not on somebody’s warped and subjective idea of kindness but on the truth.
I held back my opinion on Khelif until developmental biologist Dr Emma Hilton came on my show and explained for an hour why it was impossibly unlikely that Khelif was anything other than male. The video garnered almost one million views in the first week and then suddenly stopped. It’s not a stretch to imagine somebody at YouTube with an ideological tilt pulled a lever to halt the dissemination of that truth.
I still can’t find theatres that will allow me to host events because I won’t say women have penises, even though the prime minister - who was very clear in his conviction that men could have cervixes - now believes they can’t because definitions changed in law.
This is - and isn’t - a trans issue because Imane Khelif doesn’t pretend he is “trans”. Instead, he claims he was born female - and would sue JK Rowling & Elon Musk for saying otherwise. But the Olympics decided to distinguish sex by gender identity in his case - an ideology that came directly from trans ideology.
His leaked tests now prove what most of us in this space already knew. He is a man. But the ideologically captured trans mob won’t recognise this; to do so would be to admit that they and their legacy media might be wrong about other ostensible certainties.
What they see instead - because they’re fucking insane - is a heroic female boxer who punched her way out of poverty and - despite not being very experienced - pummeled the shit out of the best female boxers at the Olympics, winning 5-0 in every match. One woman had to surrender in floods of tears after just a few seconds. Another said she had never taken hits as hard as the ones at the end of Khelif’s fists. Just a brilliant woman - so stunning, so brave.
So here’s my 3-Step Plan to bring the world back to truth:
Share the fuck out of my video with Dr Emma Hilton (above) so that it picks up again in the YouTube algorithm. She shared a note about it on X today and it has already picked up in just two hours.
