When one has XY chromasomes, you are biologically a male. Yes, it really is that simple. Tests were given and came back XY, therefore HE should be disqualified from female sports.

There is a debate going on as to whether or not Imane is trans but I'd say no because I believe Imane is from Albania which criminalizes transgenderism and would probably sooner be in a prison than in the Olympics of all things if she was trans.

I think due to the condition she has, however it would have been smarter to put her against men of her weight class because the match that made headlines clearly wasn't fair.

Men shouldn’t compete in women’s competitions no.

[AI Opinion]

Disqualification decisions in sports should be based on clear and consistent rules, prioritizing fairness and safety for all athletes. If Imane Khelif has indeed been found to have XY chromosomes, this raises important questions about gender classifications in sports. It's crucial for governing bodies to ensure their policies are transparent and enforced consistently to maintain the integrity of competitions. A thorough review by the appropriate sports authorities is necessary to address such complex situations.

Ref your update, how can a he have a uterus?
is that not one of the things people spout about when referring to transgender, they do not have a uterus, but she has one.
The main problem is people who run around screaming she is a guy, she is transgender, do zero to stop a person with a certain level of testosterone or other markers competing. There does need to be some level of fair testing to decide who can compete as a women athlete and who cannot, the current fuckwit hysteria does not help getting that change in place. All it means is that yes trans athletes are banned (most disciplines have already done that) but zero is done for those who are not trans.

[MrShaun]

The fair way to do so is to test his chromosomes. If their XY, you don't compete as a female.

How you were raised, how you dress, how you want to classify yourself has nothing to do with it.

The test makes it fair.

[RebelinSteel]

How can you say it’s a he when she has a uterus?
How you are biologically has.
Having a uterus has nothing to do with how you are raised or did you fail biology.

False info is being spread because that Italian sissy couldn't take a punch and is better off building doll houses because combat sports isn't for her.

Imane is a woman. Yes she's a freak of nature. But she did not cheat.
I would be the first to be outraged by a trans cheater.

The same way lebron James is taller faster and stronger than the average basketball player she punches harder than the average kickboxer in her division.

So her win is fair and square.

[AviatorTom]

That XY testing ahs been proven to be incorrect. She is a cisfemale, born female, raised female, with plenty of evidence (including pictures) to prove that. She is not a man nor is she transgender. She is a large strong woman. Let's leave it at that.

[strateguy632]

Umar Kremlin, president of the International Boxing Association, claimed the tests had shown that Khelif and Lin had “XY chromosomes”.

[AviatorTom]

@strateguy632 The IBA, long plagued with scandal and controversy, oversaw Olympics boxing before the IOC stripped it of the right before the Tokyo Games in 2021. Although the IBA has maintained control of the world championships, the IOC no longer recognizes the IBA as the international federation for boxing. In other words, people don't believe the IBA.

[JustinTheGreat]

I wish y'all would do an ounce of research before yapping.

she is not transgender. She is a biological woman. She is intersex, she was born with more testosterone than the average woman. However that does not make her man…

She is from a country where being trans is not accepted and they would have never sent a trans athlete to compete.

she has a record of 9 wins and 5 losses. She has been beaten by other biological women.

[strateguy632]

The president knows! "Did research" he knows the results xy.

[MrCharlie13]

Yes, "she" should. I don't care if she is legally a woman and thinks of herself as a woman. She does have a man's body and it is unfair to put her to compete agains women with women's bodies

[JustinTheGreat]

She’s not transgender

[MrCharlie13]

@JustinTheGreat I was under the impression that she was a transgender athlete

[JustinTheGreat]

Nope, that’s false information going around.
she's intersex so she has more testosterone than the average woman, but still a woman regardless

[strateguy632]

To @mrcharlie13 you understood right. sports.yahoo.com/...t-safely-female-214227867.html

[LiamJHayden]

Yes. High T and XY chromosomes. It is actually unsafe to allow same weight class women to fight will that individual.

[Cheerfull009]

This unjust with a transgender, who is winner , stop this discrimination

[strateguy632]

disqualified for high testosterone same as 2023.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Cis Women can also have xy chromosomes.

[Iron_Man]

Yes if she’s male absolutely
