Olympics approves two men to box against women after opening ceremony scandal

Yes, or the "Elliott" Pages.

She makes about the most pathetic-looking "man" I've ever seen.

I agree. She looks like a woman with short hair.

Well, well, well, more truth coming out about this.

(shaking my head) I cannot for the life of me understand why women are putting up with this. If I were a woman being confronted with this balderdash, I would raise cain.

It's 'she'.
Born she
Identifies she
Never any evidence of transexuality nor intersexual issue.
Got the she reproductive system.
In Tennessee she'd be arrested if she used a men's room.

The only people who have questioned the gender of this person is the IBA and they won't say what test they are using and are controlled by Putin.

But that's good enough for Christian newspapers and American political conservatives.

I don't think they've revealed whether Imane Khelif has a female reproductive system. A recent past Olympic athlete with the same syndrome, Caster Semenya, does not have full female reproductive organs. However, both of them externally present as female with XY chromosomes. Semenya had been required to take testosterone blockers to reduce her testosterone, puzzlingly, to a level less than required for actual transwomen.

I'm not in favor of transwomen competing against natural biological women. However, I'm not concerned about people with this syndrome competing against biological women. This is, to me, not dissimilar from the 7.6 foot basketball player Yao Ming, and ultimately will have no more effect on the sport. These are two clearly outlier cases that don't have any real impact on the discussion of transwomen competing against biological women. The existence of the platypus does not change the definition of a duck.

Caster Semenya is a male with internal testes. He has fathered children with his wife. He was mistaken as a girl at birth.

As I said, that's a case that is such an outlier it doesn't change the debate. Public policy should not be determined by outliers.
