Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.

On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor’s office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy’s Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had “never felt a punch like this.”

    This is the source of the daily mail article. It’s an exclusive interview with her coach since apparently you don’t care to look further into it. Again, who is intentionally doing what here?

    Anyways they should just test the chromosomes of their fighters at the very least. It’s a simple blood sample nothing too invasive at all. I don’t really care to watch an XY beat on an XX personally I don’t see how it’s an equal fight. Watch whatever you want though.

      So you ignored the Snopes article, got it. You only seem to reply to the comments that are easy for you to deflect, how interesting.

          Ok I’ll repeat myself: elsewhere in this thread I replied quoting the Snopes article on this subject. Are those instructions too confusing for you?

            You never linked a snopes article to me. You never quoted anything from a snopes article to me. I don’t know who you replied to but it’s not on my thread here.

              The thread begins when someone says something. Then people reply. ELSEWHERE in this thread is a reply, from me, quoting Snopes. Go back to when systemglitch commented in this post, follow the path to my reply quoting Snopes.

                If I cared to reply to your comment you made to someone else I would have lmao. You can either quote relevant parts to me to what I’m talking about or you can fk on off. I’m not going on some wild goose hunt to track down a comment you made to someone else.

                I mean even after looking I don’t see any snopes article link. And I don’t see any quotes.

                  Uh huh, on my screen it’s literally 2 comments below this one, kinda feels like you’re looking for an excuse not to answer. Kinda like that time a wrestling organization looked for a bullshit excuse to disqualify someone, what a lovely parallel.

                    Ok? That’s on your Lemmy app. On my screen it is not like that. Like a normal person you can just copy and paste in whatever relevant parts you want me to respond to. Hell, you can even paste the link to the comment you made or the link to the fucking snopes article. At this point I don’t even care to engage with you anymore.
