A woman has to box a man today at the Olympics. AIBU to be scared for her?

Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif: Boxers cleared for Paris Olympics - BBC Sport

They are both biological males. Its to IOC, International Olympic committee. There will be a protest and i know another female Irish boxer has pulled out but surely this cant stand. The women could be seriously injured.

And do you believe that someone with XY chromosomes can be biologically female?

Evidence of the 'womb'?

It's a pre Christmas miracle!!

Horrific. But I expect the IOC to double down.

Yes. it IS a simple black and white situation.

Their usual regulatory body tested them for physical advantage using multiple tests. They were excluded because they had XY chromosomes AND found to have advantage over female people.

The IOC has not updated their regulations that are general regulations and not specifically for boxing.

What kind of person knows that they have an unfair advantage, and has male chromosomal profile, still competes in boxing?

You obviously choose to not call them a cheat and you are here accusing women of wrong think and not abiding by your personal observations. Great. You do you.

As far as I see it, you support an inherently misogynistic view point.

This is a very clear cut situation where the IOC has failed to protect female athletes from harm.

I haven't watched it and I won't but how did the crowd react when the winner was declared?

Oh it's definitely coming! That lot have a limited vocabulary which seems to consist of bigot & far right on repeat!

No evidence that they were born with a womb

I wonder if these fights weren't broadcast/were boycotted by everyone if there'd be a change of mindset at the top?

It's absolutely disgraceful. I hope the woman does kick him in the 🏀🏈's.

Cheat, cheat, cheat! This person absolutely fucking knows they’re cheating. I hope they’re sued big-time. So fucking angry that this has been allowed to happen!

It is simple black and white. If you have xy chromosomes and if you have elevated testosterone, you have a physical advantage against any woman.

A womb is irrelevant. That is not the body part that is relevant at all.

A male person is born with a body formed around the production of small gametes. It is also irrelevant as to whether those gametes are produced or not produced.

Where is your proof of this @teacher45646 ?@t@teacher45646? Link this evidence please.

Ridiculous.

It must be devastating to discover that you are male when you are registered female at birth I have a great deal of sympathy for anyone making such a shocking and upsetting discovery, my heart goes out to them. But to choose to continue in female sport once you know you are male, especially a contact sport, even more so a martial art is unacceptable.
The obscuration of the truth by the IOC is beyond shocking. They know these boxers have male advantage but they allowed them into the ring with women. The blood is literally on their hands.

Cheers of course, but the camera focused on the woman, on her knees weeping.

It’s fucking disgusting

This.

With her nose broken apparently.

Legalised violence of men on women. I actually feel sick.

Link the evidence you have to prove the Algerian boxer was born with a womb!!

The usual shite from you lot making wild statements with no factual evidence to back up your claims. Link it!

If somebody is born inter sex that is a completely different issue from men 'transitioning' into women.

The match lasted 46 seconds..
