    It’s irrelevant whether she knew or not. Once it is known, she needs to be moved to a different league/class.

      So even though she might have been born with a vagina, one that essentially works like any biologically female vagina, you think she should be forced to fight men because she has a Y chromosome?

      Are there any other times where people should be genetically tested and given something different to do if it turns out they have Swyer Syndrome?

        Yes. Also, I don’t care about her vagina. That’s not the point. The point is that having a Y chromosome likely means her body has experienced heightened testosterone her whole life, which makes her much more physically capable than a normal woman whose body would not have experienced heightened testosterone levels. That basically means it’s unsafe for her more normal competitors to get in the ring against her, same as it would be to put her up against Hafthor Björnsson.

        All Olympic athletes should be genetically tested for these things, so they can compete in the right class/heat/category.

              I will not show you what they sent to me in PM to confirm it, but let me tell you that it involved saying that disabled people are, in fact, freaks.

              Edit: their claim was that it was not disparaging, it was descriptive.
