Culture J.K. Rowling attacks another Black cis female athlete with anti-trans hate - "Cis": All this transphobia arises from an incident in 2022 when Zambia withdrew Banda from its team for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations after a doctor refused to sign off on her sex verification.

Barbra Banda is undeniably one of the greatest athletes alive right now, regardless of gender.

The 24-year-old striker from Zambia is an Olympics, World Cup, and NWSL star, and was just named BBC Women's Footballer of the Year award. But because of how she looks, J.K. Rowling and other TERFs are attacking and misgendering her online.

To be clear, Banda is a cis woman who was born a baby girl, raised as a girl, and has lived as a girl and a woman for all 24 years of her life. She is not transgender.

This year, Banda scored four goals for Zambia at the Olympics, including a hat trick against Australia, and scored 17 goals for the Orlando Pride of the NWSL, leading them to win the NWSL championship, scoring four more goals in the playoffs.

Still, Rowling decided she needed to tweet out hate aimed at the soccer star.

"Presumably the BBC decided this was more time efficient than going door to door to spit directly in women's faces," the Harry Potter author said in a retweet of an article about Banda winning the award.

In the tweet, it seems Rowling is implying that Banda is not a woman and therefore it is an insult to "real women" that she was given the award.

Once again, Banda is a cis woman who has had to endure a lifetime of being told that girls shouldn't play sports to become one of the greatest athletes in the world.

All this transphobia arises from an incident in 2022 when Zambia withdrew Banda from its team for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations after a doctor refused to sign off on her sex verification.

While some reports say it was because of high levels of testosterone, that is untrue, and the real reason was "evaluation of her physical conditions," according to her agent.

"Nothing, no existing regulations that we are aware of prevents Barbra's participation," he added.

The Confederation of African Football communications director, Lux September, said that "there is no such decision from the CAF medical committee" when asked if the organization was responsible for Banda's removal from the team. However, the president of Zambia's Football Association (FAZ) said, "Whatever happened was purely a CAF requirement."

Now the FAZ says it is working on improving its gender testing, which it considered to be "a lot more stringent [than FIFA regulations] and they put too much stress on testosterone levels."

She was then ruled eligible by FIFA, the top soccer organization in the world, for the 2023 Women's World Cup, with FIFA saying, "The World Cup participants assure that they carry out their own investigations and that they clearly show that their players are female."

The NWSL, in which Banda plays and was Finals MVP this year, does not conduct mandatory gender testing, and in its policies states that "people designated female at birth [like Banda was] regardless of their gender identity or gender expression, are eligible to compete in the NWSL, subject to the guidelines herein and other eligibility criteria of the NWSL."

These criteria include being able to demonstrate testosterone levels within "typical limits of women athletes." Now Meghann Burke, the executive director of the NWSL Players Association has defended Banda in an X post:

"The lowest form of discourse is personal insult cloaked with racism and lies, on X no less. Barbra Banda is a proud member of @nwsl_players. She is the best of us. Just so we're clear, @jk_rowling: you come for her, you come for all of us. Me first. Let's go."

Banda is the second prominent African cis woman athlete attacked by Rowling and others online this year.

During the Paris Olympics, cis female Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was attacked similarly, with Rowling and others, like Elon Musk, claiming she was a man or a trans woman, when in fact, she is a cis woman.

She overcame the hate and won a gold medal, and filed an online harassment complaint against Rowling, Musk, and others who attacked her online.

This kind of transvestigating is often aimed at Black women athletes like Caster Semenya, Serena Williams, and Brittney Griner.

Now Barbra Banda can unfortunately be added to that list.

What is it with these shithole countries trying to pass off these horrific monstrosities as women? They must honestly believe that these poorly disguised troons beating the shit out of women will somehow make their home countries look less like cesspits.
You realize current troon volleyball asshole Blare Fleming was pushed as a true and honest woman and only outed because the erasing of his true male origins was incompetent and a teammate found a photo of him pre transition as a boy?

The shithole has crossed the borders!
 
Uh-huh. Just like that sand nigger MMA tranny Khelif was “TOTALLY A REAL WOMAN FOR SERIOUS GUIZ!?!?!?!” Despite anyone with a working pair of eyes being able to instantly tell it was a dude. Same thing here. Seriously gotta go through this whole song and dance again with these gaslighting retards?
 
Watch an NWSL game and it is obvious Banda is a man. I didn't even know who he was and I was watching a game and was like "Is that a man wtf." It's so blatant when you see him next to the other players. And female athletes aren't the most feminine. Yet it is still THAT obvious. Banda has a huge head, no hips, pecs sitting up high, tall af... like wtf?? He always plays very aggressively, which pisses me off more. Body slamming and pushing women around. Banda gets most of the goals/assists and if he wasn't on the Pride they'd be ranked in the bottom half. It's serious bullshit and I don't know how this is happening. Like what's the point if there can be males on the team? KC Current totally would have bodied the Spirit if the Pride didn't cheat their way to the finals.

Rooting for the Current in 2025! I don't know how y'all have a prayer against a team with frickin Shannon Sharpe, but maybe we can hope for 2nd? Le sigh.
 
I knew a guy who bought a used Chrysler that ended up being two different cars from two different model years (81 and 83) cut and spliced together. Now we have PEOPLE that fucked up. If it takes a doctor to determine your sex instead of just pantsing a nigga and lookin' at what flops out, you're gonna hafta play in a special mutant league.

Would like to see the other 3 dudes.
Here’s another one on the left. Racheal Kundananji

The third Racheal Nachula

And if there’s a fourth no one deemed them important enough to name them.
But there were players from other nations who were deemed ineligible
Zambia is not the only team affected. Media reports indicate that 10 other players from various countries are also affected. They include Nigeria’s Francisca Ordega, Morocco’s Nahla Rakkach, Botswana’s Nondi Mahlasela and Lesego Radiakanyo, Burkina Faso’s Charlotte Milligo, Burundi’s Saffira Guinand and Cameroon’s Claudia Dabda.
 
Another? Didn't the Algerian boxer have internal testes and XY karyotype?

Probably had balls inside him like Imanny.
Now the FAZ says it is working on improving its gender testing, which it considered to be "a lot more stringent [than FIFA regulations] and they put too much stress on testosterone levels."
Well that sounds unfair to women with normal T levels who compete.
This kind of transvestigating is often aimed at Black women athletes like Caster Semenya
I think Caster Semen-ya was another male with a DSD like Imanny. Having undescended internal testicles and XY chromosomes still makes you male, just a male with a disorder.
I think a lot of these men pretend to be women and were raised that way because their countries are very backwards and they fear the consequences of living with a DSD in their home countries and being confused for trannies. But it's still unfair to women.
