        Yeah I mean putting all athletes with XY chromosomes in a single category and XX in another one, and make a third category for trans and people with that kind of condition.

        Maybe she isn’t trans but definetly having XY chromosomes and being a women can influence the performance.

          You know what influences competition more? Money. Also she was never tested for XY chromosomes.

            You didn’t actually read the article did you?

            DNA tests had “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded”

              I’m going to help your trans phobic ass out.

              Last year both fighters were disqualified from the world championships, with the International Boxing Association (IBA) president, Umar Kremlev, saying that DNA tests had “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded”. XY is the combination of chromosomes in males, while XX is the combination in females.

              But last night the IOC issued a statement that confirmed that said both boxers had “complied” with its entry regulations and “have been competing in international boxing competitions for many years in the women’s category”.

              Umar Kremlev has never provided actual information about what test were performed. Instead another trans phobic little bitch claimed they are men due to high testosterone.

              IOC spokesman Mark Adams indicated Tuesday no personal information about the boxers’ medical histories would be disclosed. “They’ve been competing in boxing for a very long time,” Adams told reporters. “They’ve achieved all the eligibility requirements in terms of sex and age. We’re following the rules in place in Tokyo."

              Thursday Adams added that the issues with the previous tests for the boxers "was not a transgender issue, there’s been some misreporting on that in press. … These women have been competing as women for many years.

              "What I would say just quickly on testosterone is, the testosterone (test) is not a perfect test. Many women can have testosterone, even what would be called ‘male levels’ and still be women and still compete as women.
