No, she (I'll use her choice as a courtesy, because my mama taught me to be courteous) doesn't belong in a women's competition. But check out the Irish girl who kicked her ass in Tokyo. This may be unfair and all that, but assuming they're still in the same weight class, this final will be Must See TV! Where did you find confirmation of XY? I find conflicting reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) 11 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: Not sure. But it was in at least a couple of sources. IOC says not transgender, From the Guardian: On Thursday, the IOC’s spokesman Mark Adams was asked about the controversy. “I repeat that all the competitors comply with the eligibility rules,” he said. “But what I would say is that this involves real people. And, by the way, this is not a transgender issue. I should make this absolutely clear.” This implies to me XX genotype but no one has said XY except the president of the Russian boxing commission who is reportedly corrupt. I think the big takeaway is that gender is not always clear despite what MAGAs insist. There are many medical conditions that confound the determination. For example, would an XXY individual be male;e or female. Most live as males. Edited August 1 by Joe Ferguson forever 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was only expecting USA athletes to shi.t on the country they're representing. There are those that know a lot more about the bible than I do, and more than a few of them have told me that somewhere in it (revelations maybe?) it says that at the end of time what's wrong will be made to seem right and vice-versa. While I don't read as much of the bible as I should, I do know right from wrong. Mocking The Last Supper etc. is just wrong.

I think it's reasonable to have some definitive. unambiguous criteria such as XX and presence of female reproductive organs (functional or not). But others would disagree. Who is to say what criteria is correct? These are difficult, complicated questions and posters here are acting like it's obvious what gender these humans are. I've got it! A separate hermaphrodite Olympics! btw, it's not as rare as you think. Edited August 1 by Joe Ferguson forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you support people assigned male at birth competing athletically against those assigned female at birth? Having to type “assigned at birth” is something never required prior to the last few years.

I think we came up with that simultaneously. That wouldn't let them participate in high school or likely college sports (not enough hermaphrodite athletes to compete with. I don't know the answer but I'm certain it isn't cut and dried. 6 minutes ago, Biden is Mentally Fit said: Having to type “assigned at birth” is something never required prior to the last few years.

Anyone who doesn't fall into traditional categories male or female would fall into bucket 3. Not sure the logistics or it but if you don't fit into the traditional gender identity, there is still a place to compete fairly, against people that are similar to you. Just brainstorming here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
