It’s spring sports season in High Schools across the country, and by now, we all know that sports are one of the key battlegrounds in the alphabet wars.
That’s why we are being treated with the spectacle of boys pretending to be women dominating in track and field and other sports. My X timeline is filled with outraged parents and activists rightfully complaining about the intrinsic unfairness of biologically male athletes invading girls’ sports.
🚨BREAKING: A boy competing under the name “Veronica” Garcia just stole the state title in the girls’ 400m at the 2A Washington State Championship meet.
Who’s shocked?

The unsurprising news that Imane Khalif, the Algerian boxer who absolutely dominated women’s boxing at the Olympics, had DNA testing done by the World Boxing Federation showed that he was genetically male. The WBF had informed the Olympic committee of its findings, and as a result, the Olympics rejected the WBF’s and kicked them out of its prior control of eligibility rules for participation.
Imane Khelif’s sex-test results from the 2023 World Championships have been published for the first time, with the medical report appearing to indicate that the boxer is biologically male.
Just 36 hours after World Boxing ruled that Khelif, a hugely controversial Olympic champion in women’s boxing at last summer’s Paris Games, would need to undergo sex screening to be eligible for any future appearances in the female category, the document at the heart of this extraordinary saga was released into the public domain.
Alan Abrahamson, the American journalist who disclosed in Paris how the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had been warned more than a year earlier that Khelif had the DNA of a “male”, produced the result of a test carried out on the boxer in New Delhi in March 2023, triggering the boxer’s disqualification from the championships that year.
The document published on the 3 Wire Sports website summarises the findings on Khelif as “abnormal”, stating: “Chromosome analysis reveals male karyotype.” A karyotype refers to an individual’s complete set of chromosomes, which in Khelif’s case has been reported by the International Boxing Association (IBA) as being XY, the male pattern.
The test results carry the letterhead of Dr Lal Path Labs in New Delhi, accredited by the American College of Pathologists and certified by the Swiss-based International Organisation for Standardisation. This directly challenges the account of IOC spokesman Mark Adams, who in a tense news conference at the Paris Olympics described the results as “ad hoc” and “not legitimate”.
Thomas Bach, the IOC president, has gone even further, claiming that the results are the product of a Russian-led misinformation campaign. He pointed out in an interview earlier this year that the IBA, headed by Russia’s Umar Kremlev, had been stripped of IOC recognition in a row over ethics and financial management. The official authentication of the Indian laboratory that conducted the tests on Khelif increases the pressure on the IOC to explain why it believes the results are illegitimate.
In all these cases, there is no genuine dispute about the genetic sex of the participants. No confusion. Surely, there are men who secretly compete as women, but that is not the issue. In a normal world, everybody would agree that would constitute outright cheating.
Last year CNN’s Laura Coates and Jemele Hill railed against anyone questioning the biological sex of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.
This entire video is comedy. Coates and Hill made absolute fools of themselves (more than usual). So woke that they ignore what their own eyes see.… pic.twitter.com/GtjwICGJzt

But this is not a sane world.
Girls humiliated.
Girls silenced.
Women kicked out for standing up for girls.

Trans “rights” activists say that they are just trying to ensure that transgender “women” are given the same opportunities as “cisgender” athletes–it is a matter of fairness, they claim. No doubt, some of them believe this, even though this violates every ounce of common sense. After all, despite the rhetoric that claims “trans women are women,” the DNA tests and the actual results on the field show that trans women are, demonstrably, biological males with all the physical advantages that being male bestows.
We should remember the IOC President Thomas Bach gaslit us all telling us Imane Khelif’s passport was proof he was a woman, rather than simply performing a simple sex test. @iocmedia pic.twitter.com/J4VHCjjXWE

The controversy last year about Khelif’s participation in Women’s Boxing at the Olympics was all about Khelif’s right to participate–nobody seriously believed that Khelif was biologically female–based on his self-identification. We know that because the IOC and its supporters had a very easy way to find out–a DNA test, which is even less intrusive than the drug tests they routinely perform to weed out other cheaters, and they fought tooth and nail to prevent it.
We also know that because they had been informed by the organization that the Olympics had previously relied on to determine eligibility.
The big question is, “Why?” Why are they doing this, and why is this a Left-Right issue instead of a straightforward “What are the facts?” issue?
The answer is simple: it’s not about sports, it’s about reality itself. It’s about the meaning of words, the malleability of definitions, and who gets to determine what is real and what is not. The alphabet people may care about trans people, but the entire left needs to assault reality itself and seize the ability to define what is real and what is not.

That’s why there is no common ground, and cannot ever be. If you listen to trans activists (and all varieties of leftists), they never try to establish common ground or ever attempt to reason with anybody because persuading people is not the point. Dominance is. You are either with them or against them. And that is true on every issue. And, on every issue, you always find bizarre and unsupportable claims about what “reality” is.

This method of seizing power is the essence of Critical Theory, which is self-consciously all about seizing power through defining reality. Categories that define “oppressors” and “oppressed” are defined, and the two are set against each other in what amounts to a fight for all the marbles.
Look at all the alphabet propaganda, and it has much less to do with expanding the idea of “fairness,” whatever the surface rhetoric implies. It is all about wiping out any solid ground that links people to reality. There is no such thing as biological sex–it is an undefined spectrum that spans an infinite number of identities. What was clear and defined by fundamental categories is now solely defined by a powerful group that gatekeeps reality itself. “Reality” constantly shifts according to their whims.
Gender is such an important battlefield because it is so fundamental. If you wipe away the meaning of DNA, which is measurable and immutable–you can render everything meaningless.
That is the whole point, and explains why all Leftists are devoted to “trans rights.” It’s not so much that they agree on the particular issue–I suspect many are queasy about it when it comes to their daughters–but that they all agree that the foundation of reality must be destroyed.
