Should Olympic Sports Be About BIOLOGY or GENDER IDENTITY?

I'm sure you've heard about the controversy about Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting in the women's boxing Olympics. Here are MY personal thoughts and opinions. Leave your thoughts in the comments so we can create some dialogue here for the safety of women and women's spaces.

Here are the websites and videos I referenced in this video, please check them out:

Buck Angel's mission is to spread the truth to the world about trans people, gender ideology, and protecting kids from being indoctrinated into being transgender.

If you think you're trans, think again. Then think again. Talk to a professional. Talk to a loved one. Then think even more. Transitioning is a serious life-altering situation, and it should never be taken lightly. If you are confused or depressed because you feel you might be trans, you need to make sure that transitioning is truly what is best for you, because the mental anguish you feel now will be even worse if you transition and realize you made a huge mistake.

The irony of calling it a 'rights based' decision while it completely removes the rights of the women to have a fair and safe competition

Bodies play sports, IDENTITIES PLAY GAMES.

Remember in school where we had "physical fitness tests" that were specifically laid out by age and gender???? The boys had higher requirements for almost everything. Girls had a high requirement for the flexability test. Boys had much higher requirements for pull up and hangs, faster running times. WE ARE BIOLOGICALLY DIFFERENT

Buck, I hope you never lose your clearsighted logic, fairness, and compassion. I've always supported the gay and trans community, not just in words, but in my actions. But starting about 2 years ago I and my women friends started getting obliquely and overtly confronted by obvious men with lipstick in women's restrooms and at our gym. Recently while I was in a stall at a restaurant a trans came in, knocked on the stall door and asked if I needed a tampon. Only a sick mind would do that!! I complained to management and he totally panicked and suggested that if I was uncomfortable with someone else "expressing their truth" the restaurant might not be for me. I don't even recognize these activists as trans. This deliberate disrespect of women just needs to stop, and only by calling out this nonsense can we make a needed difference. So thank you.

Finally, some reason.
Such a shame and tragedy for women sports.

THEY TOLD US GENDER AND SEX WERE DIFFERENT YET CONTINUE TO CONFLATE THE TWO FOR THEIR OWN GAIN!

[rikilawson]

I really appreciate your honesty and insistence on fairness. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Thank you for all you do.

There are removing female exclusive spaces and security. As a famous French pediatric physician said "you do not change gender, you change sexual appearance".

[Keelanswife]

Very well spoken Buck. So many people are defending this and it makes me so mad.

Bodies matter— I support all expressions, but safety and fairness have to matter.

[bumbilion]

I think it is a really valid point you made that they didn’t appeal. Most ppl would appeal if they knew it was wrong

[Nina_Olivia]

“Bodies play sports … not identities”. 👍👍

[elinpersson]

The length people are willing to go to "prove" that they're women! People I thought had common sense but clearly don't. I'm totally with Buck!

[janetrichardson]

I saw the video with Dr Emma who broke it down very well and how the actual condition occurs but she makes the very important point these are biological men XY from birth and their genitalia is ambiguous at birth so this may be misidentified as female at birth but they are always a male. Once they go through puberty, it’s physically obvious that they are male and she states that it would have even been obvious to the individual that they were male. Her area of study is the impact of sex on sports performance. Thank you for a very thoughtful video.

Even Muslim women are starting to point out that Imane's own team treat them as male. Because when they won the gold, Imane was seen sitting on the trainers' shoulders. If she were a female, that would never have happened coming from the country that they do. While I initially had sympathy for this person who had been raised as a woman with a DSD to find out on a global stage that your whole world had been turned upside down, I was devestated for them, but still I didn't think they should be in a ring fighting a woman. That has changed, particularly since muslim women have been coming out and saying that Imanes own country & team are deferring to them as male. It just suits them to keep up appearances that they are female, It's gaslighting on a global scale. I agree that the Andrew Gold interview was a great way of explaining all this in a rational/factual way. That's what is needed in situations like these. More facts, less feelings. It's not personal, it's biology. As for the joke of an IOC, who says that there are no simple answers or tests for these things, yes, there are it's a simple cheek swab that shows either xx or xy chromosomes it was used for years before all this woke shit came in & they stopped so that trans athletes could be included. I would consider a swab a hell of a lot less invasive than having someone watch you pee, which is what happens when they test for steroid use.

I wasn’t going to watch another video about this topic, but I clicked because it’s Buck. Glad I did, so well researched and presented.

Muslim women have been pointing out online that after Khelif won the gold medal the male trainers carried Khelif on their shoulders, legs apart, wrapped around the man's neck, indicating the trainers see Khelif as male, as no muslim man would have such intimate physical contact with a scantily clad muslim woman, not their wife, and in public. Khelif claims to be a devout muslim woman, yet many muslim women are calling Khelif out.

I love when I heard you say in beginning of video that you wanted to get facts, not your feelings before doing the video. Amazing. That is a great motto and something that I need reminder of in general because I get upset easily. I'm getting better in my older years now. But, wow what a statement 👏 more people should be like this.

I wrote it on Marcus's channel and I'll write it here again. Whats worse is that other athletes were under a strict inspection by the Olympic committee, like they should of course. For example, the judo gi (suits, the bathrobes they wear during the fight 😅) are measured and inspected thoroughly to make sure no one cheats, not even accidentally. Athletes are being weighed and disqualified for a few grams, all to be as fair as possible. But this, a man (and sorry, but i have no shadow of a doubt that his a man) competing as a woman and suddenly they turn a blind eye, suddenly they're not checking everything. Thats a shame for France whose hosting the Olympics who have let it happen and shame on the Olympic committee

The letter that the IBA sent to the IOC about these boxers absolutely does address the chromosome issue. It was never about hormones (although that is still relevant). It’s always been about chromosomes. When they released the letter to the public they had to black out the space in the sentence where the “XY” was written but you can read the entire sentence that surrounds that spot and the other paragraphs talking all about XX and XY and what would disqualify an athlete and that Imane and Lin were disqualified due to the results of the genetic or chromosome tests. It’s insane to me that people are still arguing about this. They either refuse to acknowledge the truth when it’s presented to them or they refuse to educate themselves. Either way they have to be holding on to an agenda rather than wanting to know the truth, and that doesn’t end up helping the trans or DSD communities. All it does is make people angry.
