Isn't she intersex?
I don't think we know the details (beyond the blood test) because it's privileged medical information.
She identifies as a cis female though (and was assigned Female at birth)
I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain she is intersex (has Y).
Incorrect. There is no credible evidence to suggest that.
See below, I posted a link to credible evidence.
I read it. The article never states that. Both boxers were tested and found eligible to fight before the tournament. Hours before Khelif's championship bout against a Chinese boxer she was found ineligible. The IBA is corrupt top to bottom, from the refs to the president. "The public can read between the lines". That's a credible statement? The IBA is a credible source? It's an unsubstantiated allegation. There is no credible evidence
Ok. How much money would you be willing to (hypothetically) bet on the fact she doesn't have any Y chromosomes. Just curious. I wanna know how convinced you really are about her being XX.
Man, you're really invested in this. None, cause I'm not a gross weirdo.
Ok, so... if you're willing to put NO money on the line. That makes me think you are not very confident in her not having a Y chromosome. That's just what I'm getting from your answer...
Show me your genitals. Since you're so worried about someone else's. Let's inspect for the ability to comment further on this topic?
Excuse me? Where did I mention anyones genitals? There are people who have a vagina and ovaries while still also having a Y chromosome as well. I seriously advise you to read up on intersex people. You are assuming a lot about me and you're wrong. Once again - I have never said she has a penis, I just said that I BELIEVE that she is intersex and has a Y chromosomes.
No, I'm just not taking your bait. Here's how that would go "fine, I'll bet 3k" you: "great, put your money where your mouth is an bet me". You have done nothing in good faith with anyone this while thread. It's not about my confidence, it's about my mistrust of YOU. And just your weird obsession with this. She doesn't look the way YOU think a woman should so you believe this bs. You're fucking gross. You're fucking weird and I don't want to be associated with you through a bet. Get a hobby. Get a life you weird loser.
I wouldn't ask you to do a bet. Can you even read? I clearly stated "HYPOTHETICALLY". I just want to know how convinced 1 to 10 you are in her not having a Y chromosome. That's literally it. Like are you good? Why so upset lmao?
For example, I'm 8/10 convinced she has a Y chromosome in her cells. See, it's not that hard. So, once again, I politely ask you to tell me how confident are you in your position on this.
Is that even the right measure? If a woman born with XY chromosomes can have a uterus and give birth naturally, what use is it?
She tested within normal testosterone levels for a woman which is significantly lower than the range for men. 15-70 vs 300-1000 ng/dL
There are also women who have XY chromosomes, but they don't have receptors for testosterone. They can even have very high levels of testosterone but it doesn't do anything, why wouldn't they be able to compete as women?
And why would having an uterus and being able to give birth naturally even matter? Are infertile humans not allowed to compete in the Olympics?
I think you misread the post, which is about whether XY chromosomes even matter as a measure.
How many ng/dL she had?
The specifics haven't been provided but it was said she tested within the normal range.
Source? I'm like geniuenly curious.
Troll account right here👆
Less than a day old and two of the three comments are literally these two...
Is there some rule that states you can start using lemmy only a certain days after account creation. I'm not a troll, I'm quite literally just sharing my opinion. You know - not every single person on Earth thinks the same as you. And, yes, absolutely do let me know if I said something factually incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex DYOR
How can you have an opinion on a fact?
Either provide realiable source or gtfo
It comes from some Kremlin connected sports association. I wouldn’t even trust them with cutting my lawn
Correction three of four comments...
Gotta start somewhere. You also had a small number of comments when you first joined Lemmy. This is my 9th comment FYI.
