LOL from the X comments:TCG experts disagree with this clown.
This is the actual answer to all of this.I get all that.
I guess at that point sorry to the .0001% (whatever the shocking low number is) of intersex people just cant compete in the olympics because they wouldnt meet the standards set forth by the IOC.
What happened in that Olympic womenās boxing match? Imane Khelif of Algeria pummeled Angela Carini of Italy for 46 seconds before Ms. Carini threw in the towel. The Algerian boxer is biologically male but allowed to compete in the female category, raising concerns about fairness and safety. Imane Khelif isnāt transgender, but the language of transgender ideology has led to widespread confusion.
Trans-identified men have fought women, with disastrous results. Fallon Fox inflicted a concussion and an orbital-bone fracture on an opponent in 2014 and has bragged on social media about injuring women in the ring. But Imane Khelif appears to have what is known as a difference of sexual development, or DSD, not a transgender identity. DSDs are complex and confusing enough without the added layer of ideological jargon. Hereās what we knowāand donāt know:
The International Boxing Association disqualified Imane Khelif from the 2023 Womenās World Boxing Championships for failing two laboratory tests. The IBA didnāt specify the tests but said they werenāt related to testosterone levels.
In 2023, IBA President Umar Kremlev stated that several boxers had been disqualified from IBA competition following āa series of DNA tests,ā later clarifying that these athletes āhad XY chromosomesāāthat is, they were genetically male. IBA rules define āWomen/Female/Girlā as āan individual with chromosome XX.ā We can therefore deduce that Imane Khelif was disqualified for having XY chromosomes.
DSDs can prevent a person who is genetically male from developing male physical traits. One is Swyer syndrome, which occurs when the SRY gene on the Y chromosome, which directs male development, is missing or inactive. Without this gene, the body canāt develop testes. Instead, the gonads remain undifferentiated. No testes means no testosterone production, so the fetus develops female internal and external anatomy. The lack of testosterone also prevents male puberty, a process that confers masculine features and a physical advantage in sports. Given Imane Khelifās masculine features and upper-body muscle mass, we can almost certainly rule out Swyer syndrome.
Another possibility is complete or partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, known respectively as CAIS or PAIS. Persons with this condition have XY chromosomes, develop normal testes, and produce male levels of testosterone. But their cells have defective androgen receptors that respond poorly if at all to testosterone.
People with complete androgen insensitivity exhibit a totally female external presentation, despite being biologically male. Given Imane Khelifās androgynous appearance, complete androgen insensitivity can be ruled out. Partial androgen insensitivity is a possibility. Individuals with PAIS undergo a partial male puberty, which confers physical advantages in sports, justifying their exclusion from the female category.
The most probable DSD for Imane Khelif is 5-alpha reductase deficiency, or 5-ARD. People with 5-ARD have XY chromosomes and testes that produce testosterone. But because of a gene mutation affecting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, their testosterone canāt be converted to dihydrotestosterone, which is essential for developing male genitals. People with 5-ARD, though biologically male, are born with female-appearing or ambiguous external genitals, leading to potential misidentification as female at birth. Many with 5-ARD are raised as girls, only discovering their condition at puberty when their internal testes trigger male puberty. This results in masculine features and a physical advantage over women in sports.
South Africaās Caster Semenya, who won Olympic gold medals in the 800 meters twice, has 5-ARD. Transgender activists describe the runner as a ācisgenderā woman with a vagina who ānaturallyā produces high levels of testosterone. The mainstream-media misinformation campaign was so effective that many are unaware that Caster Semenya is biologically male with functioning testes and XY chromosomes. āCisgenderā usually refers to people whose āgender identityā matches their sex, but in this case it obscures the fact that the runnerās sex was misidentified at birth.
Why can Imane Khelif compete as a woman in the Paris Olympics despite having male chromosomes, visual evidence of high testosterone, and the IBAās disqualification? Because in June 2023, the International Olympic Committee announced that boxing events at the Paris Olympics wouldnāt be run by the IBA, citing āvery concerning issuesā with its āgovernance and its refereeing and judging system.ā The IOC promised a new system that āputs boxers firstā by ālowering the complexity of the qualification process,ā but no guidelines were ever specified.
This incompetence is staggering. Allowing males to compete against females in any sport requiring strength or speed is unfair, but including them in womenās combat sports completely disregards womenās safety. It isnāt an exaggeration to say that disregarding biology in the name of ideology may get someone killed.

It was the second most expensive House primary in U.S. history, after the contest for Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Bronx-area seat this year.www.yahoo.com
Seems plenty cut and dry with the rules and the way it should be. No itās not āall inclusiveā but you have to draw the line somewhere.WSJ for the win again, this brought a lot of clarity
This is a great watch if you have time to burn. I'd love to see this guy debate a few certain individuals on here.

the liberals he argues with are the same as the crybabies on this board, arguing with feels and nonsense. charlie kirk wouldn't run away from bar graphs or his own words like they do.I bet it would involve some sort of bar graph to counter everything charlie Kirk says
You would run away from him though. #feelsthe liberals he argues with are the same as the crybabies on this board, arguing with feels and nonsense. charlie kirk wouldn't run away from bar graphs or his own words like they do.
yeah that's my reputation on this board, running away from political arguments. especially with people intelligent enough to actually discuss them beyond just trying to make someone/party they don't like look bad.You would run away from him though. #feels
Oh he'd make you look bad for sure.yeah that's my reputation on this board, running away from political arguments. especially with people intelligent enough to actually discuss them beyond just trying to make someone/party they don't like look bad.
Unignored 'mint for a second. This is comedy gold.yeah that's my reputation on this board, running away from political arguments. especially with people intelligent enough to actually discuss them beyond just trying to make someone/party they don't like look bad.
i agree with him on tons of shit, i'd happily chat with him about anything we disagree on and expect the conversation to be elevated far beyond the power of you and huggies as a combined superpower of delulu.Oh he'd make you look bad for sure.
the comedy is this coward blocking me after describing what is textbook not oversampling and me calling him out on it. begone, whither back to your safe space.Unignored 'mint for a second. This is comedy gold.
delulu.
He's a trump nutswinger. I'd love to see you two debate. You gonna call him names because he said he loves trump? GTFO you tool.i agree with him on tons of shit, i'd happily chat with him about anything we disagree on and expect the conversation to be elevated far beyond the power of you and huggies as a combined superpower of delulu.
i don't call you guys names because you disagree with me, i call you stupid when you repeatedly state stupid things. i don't expect charlie kirk to tell me that when we disagree on something that oh well it's "just his opinion" and for him to bring zero data or logic to an argument. like it's fucking comical as hell you think you are even within the universe of analogous to him. i'll happily do it on a zoom call, you have your people set it up with charlie, my calendar is openHe's a trump nutswinger.

you actually fail to even grasp the basic fact that my problem with you both isn't because you're trumpers, you could vote for the libertarian candidate (somehow) and i'd still call you out every time for the exact same posts you make. it's not that i hate trump or trumpers, it's that i hate trash logic and you both have an exceptional talent for spewing it.
Pw3nd
apparently you fantasize that you're both charlie kirk and i back away from political discussions because you're so gdamn good at them on a car forum.I feel soo owned by two fucks on a car forum.![]()
