Unfortunately Mlord sex is not binary. There are a lot of people wondering round with XXY and XYY genes. There are a lot of people whose androgen receptors are for one reason or another are silenced. And there are people with ( to standard levels):who have abnormal sex hormone levels. All these situation are completely natural. Sex is not binary
Surely a few genetic anomalies do not justify some of the madness we've been subjected to? Biology before ideology I would think.
Not saying anything like that Just saying the legal ruling is scientifically flawed You are the one who has introduced ideology into this
Individuals with such conditions may, or may not, be bothered by them. The ideology, however, does seem to cause considerable mischief, hence the mention.
Imane Khelif must undergo sex testing as World Boxing brings in new rules please log in to view this image GettyImages-2166090717.jpg© Getty Images Imane Khelif must undergo sex testing if she wishes to compete in any women's event organised or sanctioned by World Boxing, the governing body has said. Khelif won gold in the women's 66 kilogram category at last summer's Olympic Games, having been cleared to compete despite being disqualified from the 2023 World Championships organised by the International Boxing Association for allegedly failing to meet gender eligibility criteria. please log in to view this image Ad $10,000 - $200,000 Cover With NZ Seniors Seniors Life Insurance Learn more please log in to view this image World Boxing announced on Friday it was introducing mandatory sex testing to determine the eligibility of male and female athletes wishing to take part in its competitions. The body - which will oversee boxing at the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028 - said it had written to the Algerian boxing federation to say that until Khelif had undergone the test, she would not be able to compete in next month's Eindhoven Box Cup or any other women's event under its authority. World Boxing said it was introducing the rules as part of a new policy on sex, age and weight "to ensure the safety of all participants and deliver a competitive level playing field for men and women". The letter stated that in the event of a challenge by the federation or by World Boxing to Khelif's sex certification, Khelif would remain ineligible to compete until the dispute was resolved. please log in to view this image Ad - The White House, Martinborough booking.com Learn more please log in to view this image Speaking to ITV News in March about the row over her involvement at the Olympics, Khelif said: "I see myself as a girl, just like any other girl. "I was born a girl, raised as a girl and have lived my entire life as one. "I have competed in many tournaments, including the Tokyo Olympics and other major competitions, as well as four World Championships. "All of these took place before I started winning and earning titles. But once I began achieving success, the campaigns against me started." All athletes over 18 wishing to compete in a World Boxing owned or sanctioned event will need to undergo a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) genetic test to determine their sex at birth and their eligibility to compete. Athletes deemed to be male at birth, as evidenced by the presence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a difference of sexual development (DSD) where male androgenisation occurs, will be eligible to compete in the male category, World Boxing said.
Kiwi although I agree that in contact Sport people carrying a XY genotype who have gone through puberty under the influence of testosterone should be barred from competing against women..on a safety premise. There is absolutely noevidence out there that Khelif has XY genes.. Khelif was born a girl ( on her birth certificate) and raised a girl. ( yes she may have genetic variants that have made her bigger and stronger. But Mo Farrar had abnormal muscle types. Michael Phelps had abnormal lung capacity and long and large limbs too...so unfair) This is such a delicate area..I am happy to leave this to the governing body of the sports involved. Rather than victimise the people involved
