Bless your heart, arguing with a PHD in her field. Are you one of those also believe the earth is flat (you can't see), and virus does not exit (you can't see)? Maybe you should to back to school. Your personal experience does not count as science. |

Yes, the most acceptable way is the "natural" way - by genitals. |

I’m a scientist. Love me some viruses. Love a nice round earth. Love love love vaccines. Aced gross anatomy and histology. Anything science is my bag. So what particular personal experience are you talking about? |

Boxing already has strict weight classes and (supposedly) strict sex classes. Other sport governing bodies have rules for intersex athletes. For example, running allows intersex women to compete in the women's races if they take testosterone lowering medication. When Caster Semenya started taking testosterone lowering medication, she lost races and then retired. The problem is that the IOC got into a tiff with the boxing governing body, that had rules for intersex athletes, but the IOC disqualified the boxing governing body and didn't bother to come up with rules for boxing. They are requiring a new boxing governing body for the next Olympics. And at that time, these two women may or may not be eligible. |

That’s your takeaway? |

The reason we have separate mens and women's competitions is for a good reason, as a reminder. It is inclusive, giving more people a chance to win. Combining sexes and making sports open means fewer opportunities (for women) to win.
That means that the question of who is a woman needs to be addressed rather than merely hand waved away. And there are a number of people who do not want to address the question and write down an answer. |

It’s sad that people cannot simply acknowledge and accept that there is occasionally scientific reality and fact that goes against their personal feelings and beliefs. There are two sexes among Homo sapiens: male and female. Sex in humans is determined by the presence of XX or XY chromosomes. That’s it. That’s all that matters. Not anatomy, not opinion, not hairstyle, not feelings, not clothing, not surgery, not hormone therapy, not gender reassignment, nothing EXCEPT chromosomes dictate sex. It’s really frustrating and frankly - weird - like Trumpian weird - that so many people who profess to trust the science in other areas (climate, pandemic safety, vaccines, etc) so stubbornly deny the science when it comes to this subject. Then it all goes back to personal feelings. It’s disappointing. Many of you are so much less intelligent than you think you are. It’s sad. |

This whole take reads like an awkward ChatGPT. |

It was a Russian organization. That disqualified her after she won. Without specifying why. That same organization was decertified by the IOC, which allowed her (and a Taiwanese Boxer the Russian also DQ’d who won) to compete in this Olympics. And unless boxing can pull together a legit governing body, the IOC has said will not be a sport competing in the 2028 Olympics. https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/boxings-inclusion-la-2028-games-be-decided-next-year Now, you may be willing to take the word a Russian back organization decertified by the IOC (without knowing how they reached their decision). But some of us don’t fall for Russian propaganda and “people are saying”. But here’s the larger point. JK Rowling called her a trans woman. This is 100% false. That would mean she had changed her gender. Again, that is 100% false. She was born a woman, it was on her birth certificate. She has lived her entire life as a woman and has a lengthy boxing career— competing as a woman. She has never identified as, been identified as or presented as a male. Now, maybe testing shows that despite female sex organs and being raised and socialized as a woman, and believing herself to be a woman, she is intersex (XXY). Or maybe not. You are putting a lot more faith in Russian than I do. But, she is not, and never has been trans. In fact, the bizarre thing is that JK Rowling and our (fake AF) esteemed scientist want to force her to be trans. To take someone born a woman, who has always been a woman and say— you don’t look “female enough,” so you have to change your gender identity to male because you look more like a stereotypical male. I mean, WTAF? Why are people like JK Rowling who hate trans people trying to force this woman to identify as male? |

Also gay kids? Mistakes Kids with any genetic disorder? Mistakes But, this same crew wants to make sure you can’t abort that mistake, even if the genetic “mistake” is incompatible with life. Like— you are carrying an “error”. And must carry that error to term and them raise that kid while we make their life a living he11 because they are ”mistakes”. How very Nazi of you. |

It is actually much more rare than 2%. The study actually claims 1.7% so you are already misleading by rounding up that much. Also: “Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia.” |
