Taiwan tries to silence UK women’s right-wing party supporters in Olympics gender row

The “Taipei Embassy in the UK” has now also written to Williams to accuse her of “attacking a biological woman based on baseless accusations, misinformation and her appearance”.

“Such actions only endanger women’s solidarity and undermine the true spirit of feminism,” the author added. “Therefore, we sincerely ask you to remove inappropriate posts on social media such as X.”

Williams, a researcher specializing in human biology, has since messaged back: “You have asked me to remove these ‘wrong comments’ because Lin is a ‘biological female.'” To help me consider your request, can you confirm that Lin has XX chromosomes and a normal female phenotype, according to including testosterone levels in the normal female range.

Taiwan’s government has yet to respond, and neither has Foreign Minister David Lammy when Williams expressed his concerns to him on Tuesday.

The recriminations have continued this week after the Olympics were embroiled in one of the most toxic disputes in their history when Lin and Khelif claimed boxing gold despite being disqualified by the International Boxing Federation for failing sex tests. IBA claims both have XY chromosomes. Studies show that biological males hit about “162 percent” harder than females, experts add. Still, the saga has divided the sport, with the International Olympic Committee warning against “labelling” the pair.

Outgoing IOC President Thomas Bach claims he fully accepts they are women because it says so on their passports.

The letter to women’s campaigns came when other leaders also faced threats to speak out. Laura Woods, an ITV and TNT presenter, has received death threats after she praised an article about the outrage. The Telegraph chief sports writer Oliver Brown.

Telegraph was among the first in the media to report on the two boxers who had previously failed sex tests, and outrage erupted into global conversation when Italian boxer Angela Carini stopped her match against Khelif after just 46 seconds. Carini later said he was concerned for his own safety after receiving the hardest beating he had ever received.

Khelif’s lawsuit against Rowling and Musk

Middleweight Khelif has since filed a cyberbullying lawsuit naming both Harry Potter author JK Rowling and billionaire Elon Musk after they referred to the boxer as a man in posts on the X platform, which Musk owns.

Williams said he was “genuinely shocked to receive this email from the Taiwanese embassy”. “Taiwanese authorities are not only willfully ignoring that the established facts about Lin’s male biology are public, but it is outrageous that they label well-founded and legitimate concerns as ‘harmful’ and ‘attack,'” he said. Telegraph Sport.

“Our posts said Lin is male and XY, and I’d challenge Taiwan to find something really harmful in that statement. It’s ridiculous that a country that put a man in the ring to beat up women feels entitled to lecture a women’s rights organization about ‘women’s solidarity’ and ‘the spirit of feminism “.

“That a foreign government is trying to empower a British civil society group by not going along with its propaganda should send shivers down the spines of anyone concerned about UK autonomy and freedom of thought and expression.”

Emma Hilton, a developmental biologist and trustee of Sex Matters, added: “If Lin is indeed a woman, it would have been very simple to successfully challenge the IBA’s decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport last year. We can only guess why this option was not taken.”
