All evidence revealed so far indicates that Khelif is a male who was erroneously assumed to be female at birth due to having underdeveloped external genitalia. In particular, a leaked medical report states that Khelif has a disorder of sexual development, specifically 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD), which is c…

Yes, and? That obviously doesn’t make them men by itself.

The design of Pinboard exists in a similar but self hosted service called linkding [1]. I've been self hosting with Docker for a few years with no issues I can recall. Just checked and it does have the responsive forms as well. [1]: https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding

Ooh it's on Pikapods, too! I'll give it a try. :)

> Reason: I had started paying yearly for the archive option and it stopped working and I tried and failed several times to get in contact with support. Same. Archival stopped working, got a bunch of very confrontative replies from the admin and felt it wasn't worth my time to argue with him. By the way, didn't notice that raindrop.io started offering a permanent library. That's great. I wish ReadKit supported it too…

It's a shame there isn't more of an open community around pinboard. Some time ago, I tried to get an answer about a very basic API detail (the format of a token, IIRC) and couldn't get it. I love the site itself, but I've been motivated to move off to my own local system for a while—and I'm slowly doing just that!

Good point but for me, ultimately it wouldn't help.

There is something that stopped working on the server side that only the dev (devs?) can fix and my requests kept getting ignored despite the fact that I was a paying customer (both lifetime and later recurring on top).

Do you have an alternative explanation for these test results, other than the three athletes being male?

Keeping in mind that we know for a fact Semenya has 5-ARD, because this was revealed in a ruling published by the CAS.

Thank you for a quick reply! You are right, I didn't notice the responsiveness, my bad! As for the Chrome extension, I had to use an alternative one, because the official one cannot be configured to have a single click to save - it shows up a menu from which I always need to pick one of similarly sounding options having to do with saving. I'd love to be able to disable the features I don't want, and have the tool lea…

This is very useful feedback, thank you! For the Chrome extension, I started by just getting compliant with manifest v3, so Chrome would stop complaining. But now that it's relatively fresh in my mind, I'm going to redesign it so that the most common case (save this page) is one-click. I think the reason a lot of the mobile apps suck is that the API is underpowered to do what those apps need. Once I get the v2 API ou…

Thank you, will write!

Btw, if you haven't yet tried Cline or some similar 'agent-like' developer environment, definitely do - I found it's great for doing easy work (on smaller projects) in a fields in which I don't have enough knowledge about eg. extension APIs, but I know enough about principles and web technologies to give a good code review. I imagine it could make adapting the Chrome extension much easier.

Genetics isn’t as tidy as you seem to think. Many people with 5-ARD are born with functional vaginas. Personally, I call someone born with a vagina, who was raised as a woman, who identifies as a woman, who presents herself to the world as a woman, a woman.

I have no knowledge, nor interest in having knowledge, of the shape of any of those athletes’ genitals. That also means I have zero reasons, even specious ones, to doubt their sex.

It turns out the world is a lot more complex than we thought, and a lot of stuff we use to take for granted isn’t actually true. “XY is male” was a reasonable guess when we only had information on a few test subjects. Now that genetic testing is widespread, we know that’s not a hard and fast rule.

It's worth taking a step back to consider why we have separate categories for male and female sporting competitions, which is: the significant physical advantage that male development confers on an individual. If sports were mixed-sex, males would dominate almost every competition. So we have women's and girls' sports separate from males, to recognize and celebrate female athletic excellence.

With that in mind, it should be obvious why exclusion of male athletes from the female category is necessary: for fairness, and in contact sports like boxing, also safety.

The reason that males with 5-ARD have testosterone levels in the normal male range is that they have testes which produce it. They go through male puberty and thus have bodies which, in a competitive sports context, have the physical advantages conferred by male development.

These males have no female organs. Some develop a perineal pouch which may be mistaken for a vagina, but it isn't a vagina in the female sense - not anatomically nor histologically - and certainly isn't functional, given that the function of an actual female vagina is copulation and childbirth.

Whether they're raised as if they're female or believe themselves to be women isn't relevant in the context of competitive sport. The reason they should be excluded from the female category is the same as any other male: the categorical advantage from male development.

This is why it's so controversial that every medal winner in the women's 800m at the 2016 Olympics was male, and that two males took gold in women's boxing in the 2024 Olympics.

This argument devolves to "we can't let women compete until we dissect them".

At what point in a woman's competitive career do we decide that she's sufficiently talented that we have to examine her body and approve of her gender expression? Is it reserved for Olympic athletes? Or do talented college women need approval? Skilled high school students? A surprisingly good tee ball player?

Down this path lies madness.

You keep saying they're males as though it were fact and not your personal opinion. That's not at all a factual statement. Every bit of public information about these women says that they're women. Misgendering them isn't transphobia because they're not trans. They're cis woman and have been their entire lives.
