Remember when Leo Varadkar egged on someone with male strength who was punching women in the face? It sounds made up, I know. Varadkar, the former Taoiseach of Ireland, is painfully PC. He might have started his political career as a small-c conservative. But he ended up guffawing with Justin Trudeau over their shared penchant for virtue-signalling socks, slamming Israel like a Trinity brat in a keffiyeh, and getting so lost in the weeds of transgenderism that he once said his government had ‘no official position’ on how many genders there are. (Leo, bro: it’s two.)

Surely a man like that would never whoop as someone with male strength smacked a lady? Not so fast. It was August 2024. The Paris Olympics had just ended. And the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif had caused a global stink by competing in the women’s boxing there, even though many suspected this was a person with male chromosomes.
