The medical side is what makes the statement true.

SRY = male except in very rare cases. Khelif is not one of those cases, and thus is male.

    Read what I'm telling you. She did not "directly admit" to anything of the sort. You're interpreting.

    Directly in the sense that it was something Khelif directly said. There were leaked sex tests before this that people dismissed as rumor.

    These statements came directly from Khelif and can only be interpreted as Khelif being male. The statements cannot be interpreted as Khelif being female.

    Directly in the sense that it was something Khelif directly said.

    That is not how "directly" works. An example of a "direct" quote would be "I am not a trans woman, I am a girl. I was raised as a girl, I grew up as a girl, the people in my village have always known me as a girl" - which, coincidentally, refutes your interpretation of her "admitting" to being male.

    The quotes that came directly from Khelif mean that Khelif is male. You're ignoring the quote that came directly from Khelif admitting to having an SRY gene.

    That doesn't refute Khelif being male. That simply means Khelif was incorrectly AFAB, because again, Khelif is self-admittedly male.

    Show me the quote where she says "I am male" and/or "I am a man". Anything else is your interpretation.

    Khelif confirmed she has the SRY gene

    So close, that's her saying she has the SRY gene. Show me the quote where she says “I am male” and/or “I am a man”.
