If you even go back twenty years, those same institutions wouldn't agree with you. They have radically changed and that's not science, it's the ideology of those employed. What you claim is very very recent and is political. Lot of them also say race isn't real either, despite the mountain of evidence for it....just go into a sickle cell unit.

The science is that Men have XY chromosomes and Women have XX chromosomes. It's something we all learned in school. Unless you were not paying attention that day?

I know you’re in your little safe space on here but in the real world there is nothing odd about my view. If you had the bottle to communicate outside of your little bubble you might realise that. Funny enough, whatever guesses you want to make about her genitalia are completely meaningless. I don’t tend to go round trying to guess what people’s genitalia look like, but each to their own like. We don’t have to wonder why she has high testosterone: she has a medical condition. She also has a cervix, which in the previous manufactured version of this debate, was the criteria people liked for what defines a woman. Apparently that no longer applies as you are told to be outraged all over again. She has had 50+ fights and as far as I’m aware has not caused any safety concerns or serious injury to opponents. Nor does she have a particularly impressive record. So any suggestion this is ruining the sport or the safety of the other participants doesn’t seem very well supported in reality, not that that matters anymore. She has a biological unfair advantage. The fact she might be a crap boxer is secondary. If she wasn't eligible for one competition, then ask yourself why she was for the Olympics. Let me answer for you. It is about loony identity politics trumping common sense. It is hiding behind technicalities. What I wonder will you say if a female boxer is killed or seriously injured by a transgender or someone with similar advantages? Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (02 Aug 2024 5.45pm)

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (02 Aug 2024 5.45pm) Lots of Olympians have biological advantages - that’s generally what makes them so impressive. What we determine as unfair within that is an interesting talking point. As I’ve already said, there are reasonable conversations to be had around the likes of Semenya and Khalife’s participation in sports, but this bulls*** about her being a man is just objectively nonsense. Being trans is illegal in Algeria for starters… the idea that they would enter a trans athlete is absurd. Many sports don’t allow trans women to participate - I have never for a second said I would support trans women competing in women’s sport. My point is simply that this isn’t one of those cases - this is not someone dominating a sport, nor seemingly causing any more injury than any other boxer.

“Swyer syndrome was first described in the medical literature by Dr. Swyer in 1955.” No, don't do that. You stated that men being born with XY Chromosomes and women XX was 'factually untrue'. Those were your words. Now you want to base the opposite on a condition that effects 1 in an 100,000 females and in most cases isn't even reported. We all see what is happening here and I know a bloke's frame when I see it.

The two Olympians competing as 'female boxers' in Paris were previously disqualified from a women's boxing championship for having XY chromosomes. The thinking is that people with this condition are extremely rare. How female or male they are comes down to individual situations and definitions. One thing is certain they still have the male hormone advantage that feeds into frame strength as they grow up and are thus highly sought after by certain countries for the Olympics exactly because they can avoid deselection.

If there was Olympic wriggling, you would do very well. Just because you can make an argument for something doesn't make it sensible. Where would your reasoning draw the line? Transvestites? Pantomime Horses? Cyborgs? [ Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (02 Aug 2024 6.57pm)

Of course it is factually untrue to say that, if we acknowledge there are exceptions - the fact that those exceptions are rare doesn’t change that. Loads of women have masculine frames - the idea that you just get to decide someone is transsexual because of how they look is laughable. As is the idea of a conservative Islamic nation like Algeria knowingly entering a trans athlete to represent them. Unless we’re suggesting she’s even fooled them for her whole career?

Who spoke about trans? I didn't....however, if you want to go down the line that this isn't being manipulated then....are you interested in this bridge I'd like to sell you? Only progressives can twist themselves into a position where a bloke gets to beat up a woman and they say nothing to see here. It's really not that complicated. If someone is born with XY and has grown with the resultant male hormones at levels outside the scope of the normal female range then they can't box. The vast majority of humans understand that.
