Trans activists have claimed that the fact that this male boxer isn’t trans — the fact that Khelif is, allegedly, intersex — somehow proves their point about the women’s sports issue. But of course it does the opposite. Those of us on the side of common sense have always said that segregating sports based on sex has nothing to do with transgenderism. We are not trying to keep males out of women’s sports because we are engaged in some kind of plot against trans people. We don’t care if the male competing against women is trans or not. His self-identification is totally irrelevant. That is our point. It’s what we’ve been saying this whole time. Trans, intersex, or something else — it doesn’t matter. If someone is male — if they have a Y chromosome — they should not compete against women. When you ban males from women’s sports, you are not banning trans-identified people from women’s sports. You are banning males — no matter how they identify, or what genetic conditions they might have.

But if you think violent episodes like this are going to make the trans activists admit that, actually, their whole ideology is based on a lie — to the point that they’re endangering actual women — you should know that there’s precisely zero chance of that.
