My colleague Grayson Bakich covered the original controversy surrounding a biological male who failed a gender test at the 2023 World Boxing Championships being allowed to compete in the Olympics as a female.
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was eligible to fight as a female because the rules under which he was eligible to compete as a woman were formulated in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The confusion is a result of a bureaucratic war between the Russian Federation and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The different status of Lin and Khelif at the Olympics and worlds is fallout from the years-long dispute between the IOC and the Russian-led IBA over alleged failures of governance and integrity, plus reliance on funding from state energy firm Gazprom.
The IOC has appointed officials to run boxing at two straight Summer Games and acknowledged Monday the tournament rules for Paris are “descended from” those in place eight years ago at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
The officials chosen to run Paris qualifying and finals tournaments tried “to restrict amendments to minimize the impact on athletes’ preparation and guaranteeing consistency between Olympic Games,” the IOC said.
In other words, we don't know what we're doing.

She can still vote
Chromosomes don’t lie, and the whole issue is hormones. Body parts are irrelevant. You don’t use your genitals to fight. This guy is a masculine predator. Look at him.
I saw that film and also what he did to a Mexican woman.
Its disgusting.
The women in his weight class should refuse to fight.
They will most likely lose to him anyway so go out with style and purpose. This way they can make a united statement that they will not tolerate such crap and save themselves from injury.
[OR purposely deliver low blows.]
“She” deserved an as hard as possible knee to “her” groin. An illegal blow to an illegal competitor. However, the real she might not have been able to pull that off.
Any man that believes that a tranny is the equivalent of a female, should be required to ONLY form relationships with that kind of ‘female’ and not with the traditional and genetic females, known as ‘real women’.
If trannies are females, then, prove it by only marrying that kind of ‘woman’.
I saw one black guy who attempted this only have a small problem that he would have adapted to with time. However, he clearly was physically fit.
I never suggested otherwise.
Sad a real female can train hard and long for the olympics just to get robbed by a fagboy in the ring.
She should have kicked him in the nuts.
And when John McEnroe said it, all hell broke loose.
He had to "apologize" and grovel.
If it’s been referenced already I apologize, but in 2014 a lady named Tamikka Brents stepped into the cage in UFC with a transgender opponent (Fallon Fox) and in two minutes it was stopped, Brents having received a concussion, fractured skull, orbital bone, and eventually seven staples in her head. Tell the activists somebody is going to get killed and they’re actually fine with that.
Another reason to NOT watch the Olympics.
give all the proceeds to the Womens Center for Domestic Violence.....
False. The IBA tested him and found he had a Y chromosome. So, even if he has both sets of reproductive organs, the Y chromosome means male. Period.
Don’t want them as cops and Marines either.

Would probably be best for all involved if the IOC followed the IBA guidelines/testing:

That is one of the funniest posts I have read all day. Thanks!
What does X mean?
If it were any other country other than a Muslim one, I would agree. But if she had male parts, she would not be allowed to pose as a female. It is forbidden in Algeria.
X means human
XX means female
XY means males
XY+ means male with a chromosomal abnormality (i.e., genetic defect)
