The Transphobic Olympic Travesty, the Imane Khelif Story (Resources)

August 6, 2024 /

Imane Khelif is a cis (non-transgender) woman who is very good at boxing . In spite of all this she has become the target of a viscous transphopic attacks where people like JK Rowling tells the world she is a man beating up cis women under the Paris Olympics .

We have gathered a collection of articles and opinion pieces for you that throws light upon what is really going in here.

The takeaway is:

  • Imane Khelif is a cis woman, not a man.
  • The attacks against her reflects toxic transphobic attitudes.
  • The implicit goal of these attacks is to force all women to follow narrowly defined sexist ideas about what a proper woman should be and to uphold a clear divide between the two traditional genders.
  • This transphobia is mixed up with a racism that implies that strong Black women are a threat to white women and that they must therefore be classified as men.

“Over time, people have looked at genitalia, they’ve looked at chromosomes, they look for a specific gene, they’ve looked at testosterone. And what we end up with is the understanding that there’s really no clear cut definition of sex, because each of these iterations of testing has kind of collapsed under its own weight,” says Jaime Schultz, a professor with Penn State University’s department of kinesiology.

That is the problem, isn’t it? In order to police the gendered behavior, presentation and self understanding of men and women, the fundamentalists cannot live with a world where gender and gender presentation are ambiguous.

    What do we know about transgender regret? Here are the facts.

    July 29, 2024 /

    Anti-transgender activists are making a lot of noise about trans people regretting transitioning and detransition rates. The fact is that only a tiny minority of trans people who have transitioned regret their decision, and most of those who do express regret do so because of social harassment.

    Indeed, evidence suggests that less than 1% of transgender people who undergo gender-affirming surgery report regret. Keep in mind that 14.4% of the broader regret similar surgeries.

    A meta-study of existing research gave the following summary back in 2021:

    “A total of 27 studies, pooling 7928 transgender patients who underwent any type of GAS [gender-affirmation surgeries], were included. The pooled prevalence of regret after GAS was 1% (95% CI <1%–2%). Overall, 33% underwent transmasculine procedures and 67% transfemenine procedures. The prevalence of regret among patients undergoing transmasculine and transfemenine surgeries was <1% (IC <1%–<1%) and 1% (CI <1%–2%), respectively.” 

    We have collected some must read resources documenting what we know about regret rates. The links are gathered from our Essential Transgender Reading Flipboard Magazine.

    Not all who transition do get gender-affirming surgeries, so keep that in mind when you look at the following articles and papers. The numbers are not always directly comparable.
