Botragelad:

You can be a pregnant woman and have XY chromosome. You know that right? So does it make them any less of a woman?
I can also tell you that sex chromosomes are not the sole determinant of a person's sex or gender. XY chromosomes don't automatically make someone "male". It's complex.

And what about individuals with variations like XXY, XYY, or Turner syndrome? Do they not fit into your "male" or "female" boxes? It's like you've never heard of intersex conditions or the nuances of human biology.

So please kindly explain to me how does not having XY chromosomes automatically disqualify someone from competing in women's sports. I await your response. Thanks!

Are you aware that there is a required level of testosterone that must not be exceeded in order to participate in female sports esp boxing, she failed the test twice before this competition but was overlooked by the IOC

I've been noticing a load of misinformation floating about, and I think it even made it onto the front page at one point. So, I'm just going to lift this(explanation below) straight from a source, not my own work, mind you and give a brief rundown of the whole thing.




It's quite straightforward, really, for those who can be bothered to read and do their own research without blindly following the crowd of misinformation.

Below, you'll find photos of her from when she was a youngster, as well as her record. And, might I add, she's had a few fight and come out on the losing end, too.
Looking at both of them, the crying Italian looks more like a male than the Algerian

This is Amy brodhurst,

An Irish boxer who has defeated imane khelif in the past

Who honestly expects elite female boxers or athletes in general to have an abundance of traditional feminine features?

If you are reasonable, you will do your research, there is a benchmark, an average testosterone level in female anything alarming above this average level is a red flag, it has been done severally, it's called gender test with some other details of course.

Not trans, considered intersex but is genetically and physiologically like an adult male complete with a healthy pair of functional testes, which is responsible for producing male levels of testosterone.

Wrong she doesn't have tested or a penis, she has functional female reproductive organs. Her high testosterone levels may give her difficulty in contraception but she'll not be unique amongst women in that regard.

Turner syndrome are Females born with only one X chromosomes, how does that makes them male

According to you it doesn't make them female either. A conventional female according to you is XX.

Born with xy chromosomes...

This is a very complex issue actually.

But I still feel it's an unfair advantage. It's like half male and half female.

Maybe it should be considered creating a special Olympics or games for these "unique" people!

Nonsense, 9 women have defeated this athlete all females that lazy Italian was just looking for excuses.

In biology there's only two Gender male and female. There're different factors that decide human gender which chromosomes is one of the, another is the genital
Since your point is Turner syndrome are neither male or female so what about hermaphrodites. What gender are they?

You people trying to rubbish biology

No where in conventional modern science is that considered absolutely true. What of those who are hermaphroditic ?

Mr sports guru, what is the name of the thread? What is the name of the other thread on this matter?

What has been the issue discussed in social media?

Is this the first Olympics with an intersex athlete?

You are so desperate to let everyone know that you allegedly have a masters in cell biology that you cannot see the forest for the trees. An educated nincompoop.

In the past few years there has been hysteria about transsexuals. Even more so because today there are repeated cases of unsuccessful male athletes transitioning to women and competing in women's sports. No one has figured out how to handle this

There was an attempt to paint this as a similar case.

It is in black and white but your obsession with regaling us with your obscure cellular biology degree and your need for fifteen minutes in the limelight as a pontificatibg 'expert' has you wasting everyone's time.

People with far more experience and knowledge than you have already decided that imane is eligible to compete.

The sore loser has been called to order and has apologized.

Instead of wasting everybodys time blowing your trumpet take your inane, long winded and ultimately irrelevant arguments to the Olympic Committee who have already used the wisdom and sense and experience which you so clearly lack and decided that imane was eligible to compete.

Nonsense and noisemaking.

The imane lady has been defeated numerous times before by biological women and so cannot be accused on having any unnatural advantage.

It is just unfortunate she sparred with an opponent who was weak both mentally and physically and a disgrace to competitive sports.

Not much difference between you and Angela Carini, all considered. weak minded unable to rise to the occasion and quick to start capping.


You are a mumu, an unintelligent animal but you are just moving through your ignorance and darkness but do so in egoistic fashion, when you see idiot like you who speak from a point of ignorance, it's not difficult to determine for an enlightened mind and educated ones like us in the field of science.
Nicompoop and stupid kill you there! mumu is struggling to understand what it is and very egoistic about it.

What stupid thread is this one asking for, a thread that is caused by ignoramus like you who start unnecessary controversy calling intersex, transgender when they have not interviewed the person in question, if he feels like the opposite gender... ignorance everywhere, which eventually boomerangs to a thread and thank God for intelligent people like us who will move along to enlightened people like you with coconut πŸ₯₯ head.

Of course this is not the first Olympics with intersex athletes, we have seen them especially in sports that is not a direct engagement with the competitors like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling e.t.c and this lady is not the first to be talked about and athletes have been prevented before from competing, this lady and an Asian lady was also barred from competing in an event before the Olympics but those body are not in charge in this olympic boxing πŸ₯Š because of corruption, so the case of these ones will be revisited in details after olympic, decision against them cannot be taken, when the competition is already on the way, so...

Idiot, who is trying to impress you, nonentity, mad boy?
but just to let you know you were not conversing with ignoramus like you, just for you to know what to say and not talking thrash.

There is no recent hysteria on transgender/transexual, it has been there, what amplified the terms is the MISUSE of intersex as transgender/transexual.
INTERSEX has been a term that has been so silent but the most controversial but what makes intersex comparatively silent is the misidentification of the terms as transgender/transexual. Even the people in the media who are more sensible than you also struggle with the distinction between intersex/transgender/transexual, everything to them is transgender, people like us are the ones who enlight them.

You are the only one suffering from the headache of athletes transitioning into other gender e.g male to female to compete in their sports.
You are worried because you lack the knowledge there in , a transgender is a mere feeling of a particular gender feeling belonging to the other gender, a male transgender (feeling) example will become transexual if he actually transforms his feelings into action through surgeries, so in this case no matter who you are there is a barrier you must cross to make you eligible to compete , which brings fairness....be it intersex, transexuals, gender tests will bring light to who is eligible and not eligible to compete.
That's the essence of gender tests you fools don't want to admit, because people are born differently some are not outrightly male or female, while some will transform artificially, whichever, gender tests will set the limits and raise alarm on anomalies..
So that's how to handle a case of intersex and transexuals , gender test, only an uneducated and ignorant ones like you things will be difficult for.

Ignorant ones like you mentioned "transgender" and how should that be a problem...mere feeling of not belonging to your assigned gender at birth and you may not have opposite gender attributes or chromosomes to feel this way, intersex is the right term.
And if at all they should have used the term "transexual" which is the actual transformation to other gender but "transgender" (ordinary feeling which can come from a normal person/female) is what they are shouting up and down, the source of confusion to those of you who are not knowledgeable.

You a big fool, it's not in black and white, your nonsensical write up suggests millions of idiots like you need enlightenment.

Again you are a bastard for saying she has been given a permanent green light in her (intesex - status ) career, a lady that was barred before olympics and another asian lady, why they left her now is because those set up who banned her before olympics are having issues relating to corruption and so their files and data are set aside for now and they are pushed aside, the cases of the Algerian athletes and her likes will be revisited after the Olympics, they can't just push them out in the midst of the competition.

You are an ill informed and unenlightened animal who just want to form I know.

You mean idiot like you, who is not informed and passing out misinformation has apologized? Ok then.

So as I told you, her case and others like her will be revisited in details after the Olympics to determine their fate henceforth, afterall Caster Semanya of South Africa πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ was competing against normal female until steps were taken against her, so when you this ill informed bastard want to pass information ensure you are passing the accurate ones and not misinformation.

You are insane for saying someone has lost in the past (perhaps choosing the fight to win or lose) then the right thing shouldn't be done? your head is not correct... If a cheating team is at the midtable, then because they are not at the top, that suggests they have lost some matches, then they should be left alone and not sanction? Your brain 🧠 is in the gutter.

I and Carini don't subscribe to or celebrate cheating and undue advantage, and that's what any body with sense and good conscience should adopt, since you fail DNA test, and the one you taught is your father is celebrating you , as cheating run in your household 🏠, such cannot be said of other homes 🏑🏑.

So because she has high level of testosterone, she should use the men's bathroom too right?

I'm going by your logic now.

How is bathing in bathroom the same as direct competition in sports?

Of course someone may appear more of female and can still use female bathroom but she is carrying male factors and those lady shouldn't confront her in fight, that's the gist.

Bottom line...

She has too much "Manliness" in her bones and blood, which makes her unsuitable to compete against women who don't have such "advantages".

Olympics should revoke her participation immediately until this "anomaly" is corrected.

There will be review post Olympics, she and someone else were barred before olympics but those in charge then had issues relating to corruption and have been put aside with their works, so other groups are in charge now, they can't fabricate laws and dismiss them when the tournament is already on the way.

Afterall in boxing πŸ₯Šfor example, people of the same gender and age still don't end up in the same category, there is feather, banter, light, heavy weight categories despite their age bracket and the same gender but were put in different categories, and these ones don't have biological anomaly oo , let alone a lady with male factors.

Micheal Phelps produces less lactic acid than the average human, how is that not an anomaly? He also has hypermobile joints which makes him have a greater range of motion, as well as having a disproportionately long wingspan, and all these gives him a huge advantage against other swimmers, I don't see y'all raising the "it is not fair" card against that one but one white girl gets punched too hard and hypocrites starts screaming foul

FYI: imane is in the light welterweight class, so because she punches harder than other females, she should be moved to heavyweight? And also, she has lost 9 times to other females, maybe those ones also have the xy chromosome or maybe they are transgenders
