Angela Carini abandons Olympic fight after 46 seconds against Imane Khelif

Khelif was assigned female at birth, has lived her entire life as a woman, has a passport that lists her as a woman from a country that has no trans rights.

If this had happened in the 1904 St Louis Olympics, when women's boxing was first an Olympic sport, nobody would have batted an eyelid. This is just right wing moral panic.

I love everyone citing the International Boxing Association (IBA), "they tested for XY chromosomes." They did a testosterone test and the IBA President concluded she had XY due to elevated testosterone.

Caster Semenya went through the same stuff but was a woman. Her case is very different but the same. A woman that has elevated testosterone but a medical condition that gives her XY chromosomes.

Instead people should be asking who Umar Kremlev. A Russian that lost his last election but decided "nope, that doesn't count" and still holds office. Damn, who does that sound like? Yes, he has ties to the Kremlin. Can, someone remind me on their stance with alternative lifestyles?

Elevated testosterone in females is not uncommon. Just like everything else, it is complicated.

Obviously, these duel competitions should only be allowed between identical twins. Anything less is unfair and should be halted and shut down.

If testosterone is a PED and it doesn't matter if the athlete is cis or not, then there should be a hard limit for both male and female athletes to ensure fairness. If too much testosterone is only a problem for women then clearly it's a sexist attempt to police women's bodies.

Every human body produces some amount of testosterone, either too much is an unfair advantage or it isn't.

Sports where physical strenght and constitution are more important than technique will always be dominated by people with a better genetic pool.
I'm without any doubt "genetically inferior" when compared to Usain Bolt: even if I started training when I was 3 years old, I couldn't even imagine to get nowhere near his level because nature decided to screw up my knees while he was born a fucking sprinting machine.
Sorry darling, suck it up and take the L or change sport.

I'm just waiting for demands for the 4k vagina video so everyone can judge for themselves whether or not she's a real woman with a real vagina.

She got her ass handed over to her and turned instantly into a crybaby. No one in that ring was trans. Get over it or don't sign up for boxing

Boxing in general is stupid as hell. I feel empathy for both parties here.

if you actually read and watched the statements from the IOC you would know that khelif was not disqualified by the IBA for having high testosterone (they never did a testosterone test) and instead decided to disqualify her first and then look for a reason and accused her of having XY chromosomes, which I personally don't believe.

IMO there should be two categories:

• one with the average testosterone content that most women have, but open to anyone that is eligible.
• And free.

Was she a cop? It would be unfathomable for them to conceive losing fairly. Lol

There should be a trans league.

It's an easy fix, make another division.

• Male
• Female
• Open

Yeah, she's a woman only because she was born with a vaguna. They raised max admitted testosterone levels and that's how she got in. Even if she took test inhibitors, it takes time fir them to have any actual effect on the body of fucking Olympic level athlete. She has no place in such competitions.
