    One Russian dude claims she has xy chromosomes and was head of a organization that the the Olympics banned.


    And let's say she is a intersex woman.... Should those people not consider sports growing up because people like you will scream that they are participating? There has never been some intersex born woman who plays in professional male leagues. So you are asking that these people with genetic anomalies not garner interests in things like sports because it would be a dead end thing for them?

    Again, there is absolutely no evidence that she is intersex. None. Just one person making the claim and refusing to release any evidence.

    But even if it were true..The IOC guidelines require DSD athletes to maintain testosterone levels below 2.5 nmol/L for 24 months to compete in the female category, promoting fiareness by reducing performance advantages from elevated testosterone.

    That's more than "absolutely no evidence".

    I guess you don't count physical appearance as evidence.

    That's a biological male.

    I wish you good luck if you are heterosexual, still date and think that's a woman lol.

    They need to hire blind lesbians
    To determine if these are women

    blind lesbians would know the difference between a dude and a woman

    This is why the "weird" campaign works well. This comment in a nutshell

    If the claim is that this person is actually biologically male, and due to a DSD was miscategorized from birth, then I'll grant that at least there is some consistency in the argument that she should not be allowed to compete alongside other biologically female athletes.

    But what is the proposed solution? Every athlete should submit to a genetic test and/or inspection of their genitals to confirm their sex, or perhaps just the ones who appear "different"?

    I think in this day and age, a simple chromosome test would make sense. I do think it is the norm in some competitions/disciplines outside of the Olympics.

    Also, I do feel for these individuals, but the interest of women in having a right to a fair competition outweighs the interest of the people with such conditions in participating in the women's competition, in my opinion.

    Maybe it’s all a ploy to have the Olympics be in the nude again.

    The fact that this person isn't even trans or a dude yet conservatives are outraged is hilarious and pathetic.

    Too busy reading articles instead of scrolling down their social media algorithmic feed.

    The second boxer in this controversy is a favorite but not as heavy of a favorite as Imane.

    +250

    I am still not commenting on the inclusion of these athletes. Just trying to help your parlay.

    They claim (apparently based on the "eye test") that the person is biologically male even while identifying as female since birth. That, by definition, would make them transgender, were it true. Whether the person "identifies" as transgender is not really relevant, in the conservative view that "gender identity" has no legitimacy as a concept.

    There is already a protocol in place, and it is being used in The Olympics. The IOC guidelines require DSD athletes to maintain testosterone levels below 2.5 nmol/L for 24 months to compete in the female category, promoting fiareness by reducing performance advantages from elevated testosterone.
