News summary

Renowned biologist Richard Dawkins has had his Facebook account deleted after expressing his belief that genetically male boxers, specifically Imane Khelif, should not compete against women in the Olympics. Dawkins claims the deletion is linked to a post he made on X, which sparked significant controversy following a recent women's boxing match where a female boxer quit after being overpowered by Khelif. The International Boxing Association previously banned Khelif and another boxer for failing gender testing, raising ongoing debates about the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. Critics argue that the deletion of Dawkins's account represents a troubling instance of censorship regarding discussions on gender and sports, while others point to a broader societal issue concerning free speech and debate. The incident has drawn reactions from various commentators, including Elon Musk, who retweeted Dawkins's situation. Advocates for open discourse insist that such censorship undermines civil debate on important issues.
