Even if she was born a female, her medical condition has pushed her outside the female norm as they test for gender.
Ok so now I’m confused. Does this person have two X chromosome or an x and a Y chromosome?
Chromosomal analysis has not been published so it is not clear what gender this person is.
He was born XY with a genetic defect that produced female bits. I was also born XY and with nipples, but I don’t use them to nurse babies. He chose to look at his nipples and other parts in a way that’s different from his chromosomal and chemical makeup. It’s nobody’s business up until the point that it unfairly affects others. He could not care less, however.
He is not the only man fighting in the womens class. The two tranys are both in a gold metal fight.
It may be true that he was “born a girl” with internal testes and ambiguous genitalia.
But those testes produce testosterone. He’s a man.
and no problem passing drug tests ?
He was not "born female." He was genetically born male with XY chromosomes, but with a birth defect.

How about a DNA test for him?
In fact, he was a man from birth, he has a congenital genital malformation known as ambiguous genitalia and the sex can only be defined after blood and DNA tests.
He’s a man…he has xy chromosomes…all the rest is just bull$hit propaganda.
That’s a man, Baby! 😏
Possibility: baby is XY has 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD), doesn’t convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone.
Development of sexual characteristicd is affected. Perhaps baby has no external testes, and external genitalia appear more female than male. Baby is declared a girl, raised as a girl.
Then at puberty, testes produce a huge surge of testosterone. The body masculinizes, muscle, bone,face, perhaps genitalia.
The child was raised as a girl in all good faith, likely thinks of herself as a girl, but her body grows into that of a man. Not her fault, but should s/he compete against women?
There is a population in the Dominican Republic that has a high number of people affected by 5-ARD, called guevedoces, “penis at twelve.” It that culture, the child is most likely to shift to a male identity.
I’ve seen pictures of Khelif as a child and he looked and was dressed as a girl. So this not some transgender that decided to fight women as a male later in life to gain an advantage. He really was raised female and it’s an effed up situation...clearly he is genetically a male.
If he has an XY chromosome, he was born a male — but misidentified by the doctor at birth to be a female — and that was put on the birth certificate, and that is what everybody went by — including the passport and drivers license, and other official documents.
However, genetic testing revealed that the individual had an XY chromosome which is the criterium used in distinguishing male competitors in sport from female competitors. Although it seems unfair for this individual to be reveal this way, it is unfair to all the other women competitors to compete against a male in a contest designated for women (female). He can be allowed to compete in the male division. This is just one of those instances that should be clearly defined by genetic testing — and not by the confusion of the Olympic officials about sex and gender — which unfortunately, many of these physical education types are.
There are many of other things these people can do — besides any particular athletic competition divided by sex determinations — just not this one thing clearly defined. But you know, many of these media types are also sexually confused.
