I think my biggest neurodivergent tell is that I'm visibly uncomfortable during small talk, yet totally at peace when someone starts oversharing the weirdest shit I've ever heard.

In recovery we learn the whole point is service.

Showing up for somebody besides yourself.

That’s leadership too.
Setting the tone.

Right now the tone is vengeance and yeah, I get the anger.

But anger isn’t leadership. It’s tyranny.

We can and should reach for each other. Demand better.

Twitter treating this like the biggest scandal in sport. Truth is, a lot of us have done it at some point… myself included.
This isn’t about intent or cheating. It’s about a grey rule and zero consistency in officiating. Fix that and we can all stop pretending to be shocked.

@FlagOnThePlayX @JacobPacheco6 I have no spine for what? Not wanting a team to be DQed for a finger touch? That’s not how this sport works, go find another sport if you want teams banned for no good reason

[Peter @prob28]

@FlagOnThePlayX @JacobPacheco6 No, it really should not result in a DQ. The rocks are 40 pounds and a graze of a finger makes no difference to the rock. Have you played curling before?

Plus, they removed the rock which is the consequence stated in the rule book. Stop it with this nonsense DQ stuff

(Continued from above)

Yesterday, the International Boxing Association released an eleventh hour statement which definitively established that Khelif was not eligible to compete in women's boxing.

Khelif, along with Taiwan's Lin Yu-Ting, had been previously disqualified from the 2023 Women's Boxing World Championship after it was determined they had an unfair advantage over female boxers.

And while supporters and national Olympic Committees claimed this was simply because the boxers had "naturally high testosterone," the IBA put this myth to bed and confirmed they had not conducted a testosterone level test on either one of them.

Instead, the IBA said that Khelif and Lin had been disqualified after a separate medical test was conducted which established they were not eligible to participate in women's boxing.

Crucially, the IBA defines "woman" as "an individual with XX chromosomes." The "gender tests" they conduct on boxers do not measure their hormone levels, but determines whether they meet this definition of "woman" as per the IBA eligibility criteria.

Khelif and Lin did not.

Yet despite this, the @iocmedia has allowed both to compete in women's boxing at Paris 2024. While some may believe the IOC conducted their own medical tests, this is untrue. The IOC ceased all sex-testing in 1999. And for the purposes of the Paris Olympics, the eligibility for women's boxing has been limited to whether an individual has legal documents stating they are female.

Reduxx will be clear for a final time: Khelif and Lin are NOT believed to be transgender. Instead, they are believed to be individuals impacted by a Difference of Sexual Development, a medical condition which results in the abnormal development of secondary sex characteristics.

Individuals impacted by some DSDs, for example, may have XY chromosomes, but not develop a penis in utero. Thus, they are marked as "female" when they are born, and may go a substantial part of their lives without knowing they are biologically male.

In the past, male athletes with DSDs have been actively sought out by national Olympic teams because they have a substantial advantage over females and can fly "under the radar" thanks to their "female" legal documentation.

But individuals with XY chromosomes, no matter their secondary sex characteristics or medical conditions, are still male. And they should not be competing against females.

@iocmedia was and has been aware of concerns surrounding Khelif and Lin's biological sex, yet has been allowing them to continue compete against females.

This is putting female athletes at serious risk. It is also crushing the dreams of female Olympians like Angela Carini, who earned their place in their sport.
