    What’s woke about this? I though gender was about what equipment you were born with not testosterone levels? You guys never make sense.

    Nothing to see here. Let the Olympic Committee deal with it. #Harris2024

    You guys are so weird about this. Please tell us what the president should be doing about Olympic womens boxing and non-American athletes that are all 'biological' women. Is the new conservative postion on women that if you have a vagina but fail a testosterone test once you are now a man?

    None of the stories I've read said anything about these two boxers being born male. They've competed as women for years, but failed a DNA test last year.

    Serious question: Do we know if they are intersex or are the details confidential?

    Doesn't say. The IBA said their tests showed XY chromosomes. No one has mentioned that they are or might be transsexuals. (I mean other than the usual twitter stuff.)
    The IOC had banned the IBA from being involved in the Olympics for other reasons.

    Boxers bring issue of Olympics gender testing to surface

    I guess if you are sufficiently internet brained you could choose to believe that Algeria is a progressive woke nation and fully committed to ending gender as a concept by elevating trans athletes

    Footage of Imane Khelif being beaten by female boxer in 2022 Women's World Championship Final resurfaces as former opponent Amy Broadhurst weighs in on gender Olympic controversy
    It comes after Broadhurst gave her views on the situation yesterday ahead of the controversial fight. 'Have a lot of people texting me over Imane Khelif,' she said. 'Personally I don't think she has done anything to "cheat".
    'I thinks it’s the way she was born and that's out of her control.

    Some of these intersex woman who were banned from sports were born with vaginas, always raised as female, and have gone on to birth children… it’s not always clear.
