Yeah, me! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Cringy, self-indulgent, joyless music imv. Hope no one with suicidal tendencies was listening to that! 😳

 I understand that, I think sexually confused people, and he obviously is, can influence others a great deal, especially when they have such a public presence.

But I also thought his performance came from  his own experience and performed from the heart.

I have watched it twice, and both times found it really fascinating....sort of like watching someone have a public breakdown.

 Sure, Syl, I agree. But I question to what extent the ‘influence’ of a performance like that could manifest on others - hopefully not in a negative way.

All that angst, shrieking and writhing around - he seemed agonised and in despair, imv. Utterly depressing.

If you’re right that his performance was genuine and heartfelt, rather than a cynical manipulation of current transgender trends, then the guy clearly needs more therapy instead of navel-gazing his ‘insecurities’ on a world stage.

“ World Boxing will introduce mandatory sex testing, to determine the eligibility of male and female athletes that want to take part in its competitions. The introduction of mandatory testing will be part of a new policy on “Sex, Age and Weight” to ensure the safety of all participants and deliver a competitive level playing field for men and women. 

In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing.

This decision reflects concerns over the safety and wellbeing of all boxers, including Imane Khelif, and aims to protect the mental and physical health of all participants in light of some of the reactions that have been expressed in relation to the boxer’s potential participation at the Eindhoven Box Cup.

The letter sent by World Boxing to the Algerian Boxing Federation on 30 May 2025 states:

“Imane Khelif may not participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup, 5-10 June 2025 and any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes genetic sex screening in accordance with World Boxing’s rules and testing procedures. “.  https://worldboxing.org/world-boxing-to-introduce-mandatory-sex-testing-for-all-boxers/

“ A trans doctor at the centre of a landmark employment tribunal has claimed the distress of giving evidence forced the medic to undergo counselling.

Dr Beth Upton has defiantly spoke out to say 'trans people are not going anywhere’ after revealing plans for the money raised by a crowdfunder.**

Dr Upton, who was born a man, and Fife Health Board are accused of breaching the Equality Act after forcing nurse Sandie Peggie to get changed alongside the trans medic.

Last night, Susan Smith of campaign group For Women Scotland said: ‘Dr Upton continues to pretend he is the victim, saying the experience has been “incredibly distressing” and a “huge personal struggle”.

‘Reading this, one might forget the distress caused to a female nurse who objected to his presence in the women’s changing room, and the compromise to her dignity and privacy.

‘As for a “struggle”, Ms Peggie has the weight of the NHS against her and was unsupported by her own Union.

‘Dr Upton, backed by managers and senior colleagues, is certainly not the underdog in this sorry tale and, moreover, pushed the hospital to take action against Sandie.’  

The Mail revealed last week how Mrs Peggie is also suing the Royal College of Nursing for failing to help her in her battle against Fife Health Board. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14762627/Trans-doctor-receives-counselling-incredible-distress-NHS-gender-tribunal.html

** he received ”£5807 (he’s keeping half for counselling, loss of earnings for my wife, travel and accommodation and the other half “we intend to split amongst several local charities and community groups working to support vulnerable people”).” whereas £38,000 worth of donations has been donated for Mrs Peggie (”all of which is set to go to charity”.)

Sounds as though this fool is going to carry on as before no matter the outcome of the court case and what the law says. Will the NHS continue supporting him? Waiting list too long for NHS counselling or did he opt for private?

I also blame the NHS for supporting this entitled freak.
It really is people like him that give transsexuals, who just quietly go about their business without trying to demean women, a bad name.

 Yep - it’s a tale as old as time: It’s often a minority who make it worse for the majority.

I rarely follow this thread, because I’m of a ‘When did a trans person ever impose themself on my life?’ mindset. But I did want to respond to the bang-on point you posted 🎯

“The Scottish Information Commissioner orders the health board to issue revised responses after its refusal to say how much it has spent fighting legal action brought by nurse Sandie Peggie over sharing a changing room with a transgender doctor.

NHS Fife failed to comply with its freedom of information duties over the costs of an employment tribunal, Scotland's Information Commissioner has ruled.

The health board received three separate requests in March 2025 for the cost to date of the legal action, which was brought by nurse Sandie Peggie after her complaint about sharing a changing room with transgender medic Dr Beth Upton led to her suspension.

NHS Fife rejected all three freedom of information (FOI) requests, stating that the information requested was exempt under the FOI Act's exemption - which protects personal information.

However, a probe by the Scottish Information Commissioner has revealed that when responding to the requests, NHS Fife did not actually have the information on which it based its reply.

Information Commissioner David Hamilton said the details about costs was not obtained until later from the NHS Central Legal Office, and that the health board should have replied on the basis of information it did hold at the time of the requests.

Mr Hamilton ordered the health board to carry out fresh searches for information it did "actually hold" at the time, and to issue revised responses in line with what it finds.

The commissioner also disputed NHS Fife's claim the cost data would be exempt from disclosure on the basis set out, and called on it to "exercise caution" when considering related exemptions around any additional information found. “ https://news.sky.com/story/nhs-fife-rebuked-by-watchdog-over-handling-of-transgender-row-tribunal-cost-requests-13376308

“Medical report leaked that ‘proves Imane Khelif is biological male”

‘Sex-test results published online which debunk IOC’s stance on controversial Olympic champion.

Imane Khelif’s sex-test results from the 2023 World Championships have been published for the first time, with the medical report appearing to indicate that the boxer is biologically male...” (paywall sorry,  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/boxing/2025/06/01/imane-khelif-medical-report-proves-biological-male/  )

 

The OC allowed him in the ring with a female knowing, like most of the world, that he was male. So much for “Russian propaganda“ eh?

 Disgusting! He could have damaged a female

“Victory for Darlington nurses as they win landmark battle for a female-only hospital changing room”

Eight pioneering nurses who formed their own union to defend the rights of women have won a landmark battle for a female-only changing room.

The Darlington nurses launched a legal action saying transgender policies put them at risk, deprived them of dignity and breached their human rights.

They claimed a biological male colleague identifying as a woman called Rose stared at their breasts as they were getting undressed and lingered too long in the changing room. One nurse had a panic attack after Rose repeatedly asked when they were alone, ‘Are you getting changed yet?’  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14790917/Victory-Darlington-nurses-win-landmark-battle-female-hospital-changing-room.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Off you pop “Rose”,  back to the lads >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
