Zijn we er allemaal even bij mensen?!! @geertwilderspvv zegt hier dus dat het niet nodig is te luisteren naar de Raad van State. Dus als we mensen feitenloos een crisis aanpraten, dan mogen we de wet, de rechter die voor ons moet opkomen, ondemocratisch buitenspel zetten
Dear J.K. Rowling,
Your tweet on Imane Khelif is a masterclass in sensationalism and misinformation, dressed up in a veneer of moral righteousness. It is nothing short of appalling to see you leveraging your platform to propagate such baseless and harmful narratives. Let's dissect your claims with the precision they deserve, shall we?
You posit that Khelif represents a "new men’s rights movement," protected by a "misogynist sporting establishment." This, Ms. Rowling, is not only a gross mischaracterization but a pernicious distortion of reality. Imane Khelif, a dedicated athlete, has faced and overcome substantial barriers, including dubious disqualifications based on contested gender tests. These tests, as recent events have shown, often lack scientific consensus and disproportionately target athletes from marginalized backgrounds [oai_citation:1,Two female boxers meet Paris Olympics rules after gender test issue at world championships, IOC says.
To frame her reinstatement as a victory for misogyny is not just erroneous but laughably ironic. The real misogyny lies in the attempts to strip women like Khelif of their achievements and identities based on archaic and flawed notions of gender. Your tweet implies a gleeful malice in Khelif's demeanor—a smirk that supposedly signifies her complicity in a grand patriarchal scheme. Yet, any discerning individual can see that this interpretation is as fanciful as the plot of a mediocre fantasy novel.
The crux of your argument—that Khelif's participation shatters the ambitions of her opponents—ignores the essence of competitive sports. Boxing, like any sport, is about resilience, skill, and the ability to face challenges head-on. Imane Khelif's presence in the ring does not diminish her opponents; rather, it exemplifies the diversity and strength inherent in women’s sports. To suggest otherwise is to undermine the very spirit of athletic competition.
Your rhetoric about a "misogynist sporting establishment" conveniently ignores the actual misogyny Khelif has faced. The backlash, the disqualification, the relentless scrutiny—these are the real impediments born of a patriarchal system that struggles to accept women who do not fit into its narrow definitions. By attacking Khelif, you are not championing women's rights; you are perpetuating the very biases you claim to oppose.
Humor me, Ms. Rowling: how does vilifying a woman who has met every imposed criterion, who stands resilient in the face of baseless allegations, advance the cause of feminism? It does not. It regresses it. Your crusade, ostensibly for the protection of women, becomes a vehicle for exclusion and prejudice when it targets those who are already marginalized.
In closing, let me remind you that true feminism is about inclusion, understanding, and the dismantling of all forms of discrimination. It is not about casting stones from ivory towers. Imane Khelif deserves our respect and support, not the vitriolic condemnation of someone who should know better.

Pride Month gehad, foto’tje gemaakt. Regenboogvlaggetjes weer in de kast. Morgen op het bordes met NSC die de transgender zorg willen inperken, Caroline van der Plas die zich zorgen maakt over “gekkigheid” in seksuele voorlichting en Geert “anti-woke en lhbtiq gedram” Wilders 🤩
@mcbenaim @Doorbraakeu Ik kom niet met een bewering. Jij beweert dat racisme niet in het spel is. Dat weet je niet. Beide kanten weet je niet. Je kunt niets stellig beweren.
Hypocrisy at its finest!
The president of France’s National Assembly expels MP Sébastien Delogu for 15 days (maximum sanction) for waving a Palestinian flag, citing a ban on foreign flags.
Yet she herself wore an Israeli flag while presiding over the National Assembly session!
Ik ben er helemaal klaar mee. Indien de wereld Israel niet dwingt om Rafah te verlaten, zoals het ICJ eist, dan keurt diezelfde wereld deze genocide goed.
Gisterenavond bombardeerde Israel een tentenkamp. Palestijnen werden levend verbrand. Gazacaust.
