"If someone has a Y chromosome, they're a man!!!". My dudes, if you karyotype tested every female athlete currently competing at the Olympics, you'd surprise a fair number of them with news they were "men" (by your definition).

This is why people hate journalists.
Should CNN have insisted on a one-on-one interview with Harris and turned down a joint interview with Harris and Walz? Too tough to walk away from. But first question to Harris ought to be why should couldnât appear solo.

The last time they did wide-scale DNA testing of female athletes was the 1996 Olympics. They found that 8 out of 3,387 (0.2%) had a Y chromosome. Roughly 100x higher rate than the general population.

And the thing is, as that article points out: most of the time, the Y chromosome doesn't even equal an advantage, as it may be paired with androgen insensitivity syndrome. That's why they moved to things like testosterone levels or physical examinations for verification.

The point in all of this is that ever since the 1930s, the Olympics have been grappling with DSDs and the question of who counts as a woman. Along the way, they've tried everything from having athletes parade around nude in front of a judge to DNA tests.

"Time's just about up on Harris to avoid this becoming a thing.". Translation: the press is about to turn this into a "thing" unless they get what they want.

This is insane, racist, and the press needs to cover it that way. Running stories like, "No evidence to support blah blah blah" isn't enough. "Immigrants are eating people's pets" : 2024 :: "They're putting litterboxes in school bathrooms" : 2022.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed the false accusations about Haitians eating pets during a "special hearing" today. MTG: "Can we add in that there's Haitian illegal migrants taking over towns, eating peoples pets, but yet, there's not a government show of force against that?"

Trump's going to do that thing (like he did in 2016) where he reads a relatively (by his standards) normal speech and people fall over themselves to act like this marks some gigantic pivot and not just him reading some words that he doesn't believe off of a teleprompter.
