Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, “This is not a transgender issue.”

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or “woke” politics are without basis.

    There are genetic conditions, termed differences of sexual development, in which biological females are born with XY chromosomes but possess female anatomy

    Though there is no independent confirmation that Khelif has these conditions, people born this way would legally be considered female or intersex.

          Some people don’t care, some are too stupid to even grasp the concept.

          The person you’re replying to obviously cares enough to comment…

        And as I said, it hasn’t been independently confirmed, pure speculation until then.

          And the Olympics don’t make chromosomes the deciding factor for competition. So even if her chromosomes aren’t “correct” these people just want to make her the poster child of women abuse… These same people want to ban women’s right to medically care so it’s all anti women and anti LGBTQ all wrapped up in one.

        Swyer syndrome is just males born with vaginas and occasionally getting pregnant and giving birth I guess.

        That’s what I was taught in primary school. But it turns out a lot of things are more complex than what was taught in primary school.
