It appears this video has been taken down from some tweets, so we have added another tweet that captures Leal's celebration below.]

Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go inside, close the door, and pay to your father unseen

There was a time when the level of PCB's in the Niagara river caused mutations in fish and animals.  The Rouge river in Detroit actually started on fire.  Did you cheer those events?  Both were cleaned up.  The French are working on it.  You MAGA's are weird....

The rest of the story:  https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/c4ngr93d9pgo.  She was excluded from an event due to a high testosterone level.  Presumably she had all the necessary body parts.  Testosterone levels can be elevated in a variety of conditions in females including polycystic ovarian disease or when self administering testosterone.   It can be difficult to define a women...MAGAs are weird...

 

more.  The Russians are involved.  Why do MAGAs like Russia so much?  https://apnews.com/article/2024-paris-olympics-women-boxing-1c6c10c60d792b282df3a42561055d14

Aw.  Look at the left trying to pivot and passively support a men beating women.  

 

Do you suppose the boxers had a chromosome test?  A physical exam?  To you, do the presence of XX chromosomes, female genitalia, a uterus and ovaries define a women?  I really wanna know since you seem to be able to so easily determine gender.

Lmao.  You realize how many test every one of them has to take for anti doping rules?  So test for that extra or non existent one in all of those test.  

 

In fact the person that beat the women had been through all that and claimed her current low testosterone/no added estrogen test is why she could compete.

In English please.  Yes or no, do the criteria that I presented define a female?  Please link the source of the quote of "the person that beat the women" (huh?).

I have no idea what the exact background is here.

But there are actually intersex people (the "I" in the LBGTQI). I understood that that's where famous sprinter Caster Semenya fell, and perhaps Britney Griner too.

Sometimes it isn't that simple.

OK, so I looked it up.

Yes, the Algerian fighter is genetically male. 

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!

https://www.iba.sport/news/statement-made-by-the-international-boxing-association-regarding-athletes-disqualifications-in-world-boxing-championships-2023


 

On 24 March 2023, IBA disqualified athletes Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif from the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships New Delhi 2023. This disqualification was a result of their failure to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women’s competition, as set and laid out in the IBA Regulations. This decision, made after a meticulous review, was extremely important and necessary to uphold the level of fairness and utmost integrity of the competition.

Point to note, the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognized test, whereby the specifics remain confidential. This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors.

 

The International Boxing Association had a problem with these “ladies”. Are they the baddies here?
