Taiwanese athletes makes to German tabloid, but unfortunaterly not for the right reasons.
Translation? Something to do with sex?
She and an Algerian boxer are seen as too “male” by some, and she was disqualified before at the world championships after finishing third. I think because of too high testosterone levels.
They have xy chromosomes according to the article.
Just saw a clip of Italy’s female boxer leaving the ring in tears after losing to man competing in the women’s division.
I have only seen bits about this but haven’t seen any body say, I know they failed DNA test that showed they had Y chromosomes, but were they born men and had the snip or were they born female?
You aren’t really explaining the situation there. It’s not like some guy turned up and lied saying he was a woman. This is an intersex issue, not a transgender issue. Not saying the person should be competing but it needs explaining. Even more interesting is that there is another boxer with the same issue (XY chromosomes) and she is from Taiwan. But there’s been zero discussion in Taiwan about it, she presents as female as she’s not as scary as the Algerian (who to be fair is pretty scary).
Debatable, but as you say, it is an intersex issue as much as i know so it isnt the athlete’s fault.
Well they’ve lived their life as female.
So they are female with XY chromosomes? as per the below article its 1 on 15,000.
Yes they have female genitalia. I mean the Taiwanese girl, you’d guess they were male if you passed them on the street but that’s not the issue here. It’s important to remember this is nothing to do with transgender issues, there’s no transitioning, no sex reassignment. They come out of the womb and the doctor goes, no dick, it’s a girl.
Yes I have known girls like that my whole life, but they were always girls, went to school as girls, played sport as girls, was never really an issue.
What’s next all runners have to have standard size legs, as long legs gives you a genetic advantage?
The girl has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp and a body like a shit house door, boxing seams a nice fit as I cant see her winning miss world.
I mean if someone has been surgically or chemically altered thats a whole different ball game.
Not sure actually, I thought born male. I will have to check
That’s the question I’m asking, were these two born male or just female with a Y chromosome?
I thought born male had the snip. But most articles are very vague on whether he was born male or not.
The problem in boxing is if the girl is hitting at 165% of the power of anyone else in the division then people will get hurt.
It’s a combat sport people get hurt, hopefully they can contain it as much as possible, but you cant just ban someone because they are naturally as hard as nails.
This has been my point, I cant quickly get to the bottom of it, but my feeling is if they had had the snip then that would be all over the news.
No one anywhere is claiming she was born male. Both girls have been competing for years in the sport. The entire issue is that they have XY chromosomes. That’s it.
