"No I'm not disgusted. I get disgusted by things which are in my opinion actually disgusting, like the Israeli flag bearer being allowed to complete while he has videos of him signing bombs that are being dropped on children on his insta. I do however thing trans athletes in sport is a very delicate and complicated matter. And someone's you do have to look at the biological advantages someone has received. This to me isn't a gender identity issues rather than a sporting fairness one. I also don't think it has a simplistic answer because I'd like trans athletes to have a way of competing " We have a very simple answer. Don't allow men to compete against women. It's disgusting that we have to watch women who have dedicated their whole lives to a sport, to have it torn away by a man pretending to be a woman. I've 2 kids both box. A girl & A boy, 4 yrs of an age gap, girl been older. The speed and power difference is noticeably even at a young age. So when you see it been supported at the Olympics, it is very worrying for women's sports as a whole. A new trans category needs to be set up | |||

And I'd suggest there are far great issues and obstacles in women's sport than the tiny % of trans athletes who compete. Your whole attitude would actually make more supportive of just lumping them all in together tbh.. But rationale there must be some restrictions or solutions someone smarter than me will come up with | |||

"The boxer that won today (Haven't seen it ) was born as female but with higher than normal testosterone according to The IOC Is that not correct " Same boxer was stripped after the world champions last year for failing the gender fluid test. The medals went to the women that were beat. The amount of testosterone in the body was level par with a man. This means your going into a ring with a massive advantage. Reflexes, punching power is a massive difference in a ring between male and female fighter. We wouldn't let a woman boxer take steroids and fight a natural boxer as we no the advantages they would carry going into a ring. Hence the testing. So my problem is, that they were already stripped and kicked out of the world championship last year, how the hell were they left box's in the Olympics. | |||

"Is this khlief,competing since 2017/2018 in womens boxing...also the boxer has been beaten by Amy broadhurst and kellie harrington Harrington won the quarter final in 2020 Broadhurst won a final in 2022 or around that " 100% correct. Was stripped last year at the world champions. They should just create a new category. It's simple..let's trans athletes compete against each other. | |||

"To my understanding, Khelif is not biologically a man. He is one of the rarest cases where a baby born whit not clearly identifiable male or female organs. But her body has benefited from the testosterone level that is usually produced by men that reflect on muscles growth and power, strength a woman can’t achieve. Maybe the right thing to do on such situations should have been to put a limit on the testosterone level, over that level is doping, doesn’t matter if natural doping. Also I think make sense to enforce something like this in sports where power and strength can make a significant difference." This is correct , and the same for the Taiwanese boxer under similar scrutiny , both seen to have above average testosterone levels for women when tested at the World Championships..also , neither are confirmed as biological males or trans , that's just speculation | |||

"Anyone else disgusted by a male beating a woman in women's boxing. It's an absolute joke that it was allowed to happen. This crazy shit with letting men compete in women's sports needs to stop. We ain't equal (men & women) when it comes to muscle mass, bone density. " There are things I find much less palatable. Things like the language you use when you speak about trans people. Truly distasteful. | |||

"It is disgraceful. The Olympics just endorsed a biological man punching a biological woman in the face and breaking her nose and televising it as sport. In a world where we have a huge problem with male violence against women, this should not be put on TV as an example of sportsmanship. The Olympics should risk assess each sport and has a duty of care to the welfare of all athletes. Trans women should fight other trans women. No biological women or girls should be expected to compete with trans women. Why would any women engage in sport if it is impossible to win and you face the risk of extreme injury because your opponent has a biological advantage that no amount of training will level up. I don't think there is any evidence the Algerian boxer was born female. I think the passport says Female, but other than that there has been no effort to transition. It's really sad that the Italien woman was assaulted today and wasn't protected by the Olympics governing body. It is a disgrace, and anyone not disgusted by it, needs to reassess their values. " 100% I'm using this as an example. We really need to create a new category. Women and men compete in different categories because of the advantages men have over women in the physical aspect. All ya got to do is look at the records in running, swimming, weightlifting, cycling and you can see a massive difference. Now this goes up a notch when it comes to contact sports. Plenty examples out there to prove this. | |||

From this, false rumors have emerged that Khelif is transgender or transsexual. Khelif is a biological woman. | |||

"On a post yesterday OP you said a woman is a woman and men are men. Men can't ever be women and women can't ever be men. Today, a boxer who is a woman from birth, and is competing against other women, shouldn't be doing so because she's a man. Huh. " Hundred percent women can't be men and men can't be women. No nip & tuck with a boob job or hormones will change your biological make up. He has the xy chromosome, the male chromosome. So he's a man competing against women. It's just down right wrong. Especially in contact sports. We seen what happen to Riley Gaines lose out to Willian Thomas aka lia Thomas. Lost out on gold after dedicating her life to the sport. Thomas was ranked over 400 in the men's category but set records in the women's. Just create a category for trans athletes. It stops the unfairness in women's sports with men competing against them. Let me ask ya a question. How come we so no transmen in the men's category? | |||

The medals that she would have won in the college swimming championship. Might not so big to us here in Ireland, but it's a massive stepping stone in once career in the US. Just like college basket ball and football. Beaten by a man in a women's category. A man ranked over 400. Again pointing out the differences between men and women physically. | |||

No sorry I mean which actual race Because I'm pretty sure she didn't lose any actual medal race or lose a gold to Lia Thomas. They did toe for 5th behind some other cis woman.

"Perhaps you need to step in and tell everyone in these cases who is a man and who is a woman _arbieandbaldy, because the IOC says one thing and the IBA says another and these professional organisations seem to be struggling to decide about this poor person (who was born female and has a female birth cert and a female passport)." Maybe I should. Since today people can't say what a man or a woman is anymore. Commonsense is gone out the window. Plus the IBA is a professional organisation. Who promotes and runs boxing events all year round. Who has regular testing for the fighters on their register. I'd rather go with that ruling. | |||

I think this person was born inter-sex and was incorrectly identified as female, which led to the birth cert and passport, but has Xy chromosomes and male levels of testosterone. Giving them a massive advantage in a combat sport. Regulations need to change to protect the xx people. This has nothing to do with trans people (sorry for my ignorance earlier). This is a health condition, and the classification is impacting all of the people involved in the competition. | |||

" Except the IBA doesn’t have any jurisdiction over amateur boxing at the Olympic (Long story that’s not for here.) so unfortunately their policies and decision isn’t relevant. As regards what is or isn’t a woman, it’s not a good idea for Humanity to look at an extreme or one off case for society and use it as proof and evidence to define roles and functions within society as a whole. Hard law, as they say, makes for bad law, and misuse of the law always makes it an ass. | |||

The issue is testosterone levels. She was born with elevated testosterone levels and failed a gender fluid test because of this. So as a woman she should be allowed to compete but due to her elevated testosterone levels she does have an unfair advantage over the rest of the female boxers. I think that if you are over the level, naturally or unnaturally, you shouldn't be allowed to compete. It would be sad for this individual but you need a level playing field in sports. If they made an exception they'd be opening up floodgates to potential abuse. Rules should be applied equally. Mrs x | |||

She had previously been beaten several times. Where would she compete? Or do we exclude her? What about people over 7ft who have a distinct advantage at basketball? I know there are somewhat flippant comments but it is such a loaded and complex topic, that having equal and consistent rules isn't all that simple | |||

Some dude punching women around doesn't go well with my moral compass. He knows he's stronger than her yet he knocks her around the place. I've nothing against people feeling born in the wrong body, it's an issue if that body is primed to knock seven shades of shite out of someone who's not as powerful She isn't trans. She has never claimed to be trans. She has always competed as a woman. She has a dsd and was assigned as female at birthShe is a woman not trans woman.That's not an issue here. The issue is testosterone levels. She was born with elevated testosterone levels and failed a gender fluid test because of this. So as a woman she should be allowed to compete but due to her elevated testosterone levels she does have an unfair advantage over the rest of the female boxers. I think that if you are over the level, naturally or unnaturally, you shouldn't be allowed to compete. It would be sad for this individual but you need a level playing field in sports. If they made an exception they'd be opening up floodgates to potential abuse. Rules should be applied equally. Mrs x I would generally agree with you. Having women who have had the benefit of high levels of testosterone compete against women who haven't is unfair and potentially dangerous. The rules need to be consistent and unambiguous. She had previously been beaten several times. Where would she compete? Or do we exclude her? What about people over 7ft who have a distinct advantage at basketball? I know there are somewhat flippant comments but it is such a loaded and complex topic, that having equal and consistent rules isn't all that simple " in relation to having performance enhancing compounds it's very simple. If you have an agreed level you can compete, if it's above you can't. There's no height restriction in basketball so that's a redundant analogy. Mrs x | |||

Mrs xI'm mistaken neither woman at the Olympics were disqualified due to testosterone, it wasn't tested for. They did fail a gender fluid test but as yet the reasons for this have not been made public. I'll reserve my opinion until all the facts emerge, if they do. Mrs x" I assume you and a previous poster mean a gender eligibility test. Since neither athlete is gender fluid, it'd not be a surprise that they failed a test for that (if one actually existed) 🤔 | |||

Since neither athlete is gender fluid, it'd not be a surprise that they failed a test for that (if one actually existed) 🤔 " Sorry you are right I meant eligibility test not fluid. There was a statement given after they were disqualified but no further evidence was provided which muddied the waters a bit. The statement read "the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognised test, whereby the specifics remain confidential. This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors." It said the decisions were ratified by the IBA Board of Directors. Apparently it was a chromosome issue, they had XY chromosomes but the actual results were not released and when asked for them the governing no did not reply. There's something going on but not sure we will find out exactly what. Mrs x | |||

"It's not a redundant analogy. A person with a natural excess of growth hormones in their bodies may grow far taller than most and be able to wipe the floor in basketball. Do we measure growth hormone levels? Maybe it's not SO simple." The GOAT basketball player was Michael zJprdan, he wasn't 7 foot. The GOAT footballer Messi is probably the smallest guy when taking to the pitch. Height may be an advantage it may not. But a performance enhancing compound definitely is. Tallest guy in the world Robert Wadlow, 8ft 11 inches, would have made a shit basketball player. Couldn't walk very well had to wear leg braces and used a wheelchair due to complications from his massive frame. Mrs x | |||

"Testosterone has a role to play in sex drive for sure. It is sometimes supplemented in menopausal women with abnormally low libidos for example. However the levels found in men are far far far higher than what a "normal" woman would produce in even the horniest day of her life. It has a very pronounced effect on strength and muscle mass and so if a massive advantage physically." Some of the profiles on here raise my testosterone levels to exceptional heights , several couples especially. Only thing is I'm a lover , not s fighter 😜❤️🕺🏻 | |||

I agree she is a woman competing against a woman but it’s like Mike Tyson competing with Ray Sugar Leonard. The power she got because high level of testosterone her body produces, didn’t make it a fair fught" Any evidence of this? Or are you just assuming? | |||

"On a post yesterday OP you said a woman is a woman and men are men. Men can't ever be women and women can't ever be men. Today, a boxer who is a woman from birth, and is competing against other women, shouldn't be doing so because she's a man. Huh. Hundred percent women can't be men and men can't be women. No nip & tuck with a boob job or hormones will change your biological make up. He has the xy chromosome, the male chromosome. So he's a man competing against women. It's just down right wrong. Especially in contact sports. We seen what happen to Riley Gaines lose out to Willian Thomas aka lia Thomas. Lost out on gold after dedicating her life to the sport. Thomas was ranked over 400 in the men's category but set records in the women's. Just create a category for trans athletes. It stops the unfairness in women's sports with men competing against them. Let me ask ya a question. How come we so no transmen in the men's category? " A trans man competed in the men’s boxing so, shockingly, you’re wrong. But hey, no one gives a shit about him. | |||

"Has anyone stopped to consider maybe Angela Carini is just shit at boxing 😆 Hope Khelif goes all the way now 🥊" Didn’t protect her face, didn’t try to get out of the way, didn’t use footwork. I mean, she agreed to get in the ring so obviously wasn’t concerned about her safety. She was just a bit shit on the day 🤷🏻♀️ | |||

"No nip & tuck with a boob job or hormones will change your biological make up." Horrible way to talk about us like we're not in the room. I take estrogen and regular blood tests show that it has suppressed my testosterone to a range lower than most cis women's. My biological makeup has changed dramatically, including a huge reduction in muscle density. If you put me in a ring with any even remotely trained woman boxer I wouldn't stand a chance (and quite frankly neither would most men!) | |||

"No I'm not disgusted. I get disgusted by things which are in my opinion actually disgusting, like the Israeli flag bearer being allowed to complete while he has videos of him signing bombs that are being dropped on children on his insta. I do however thing trans athletes in sport is a very delicate and complicated matter. And someone's you do have to look at the biological advantages someone has received. This to me isn't a gender identity issues rather than a sporting fairness one. I also don't think it has a simplistic answer because I'd like trans athletes to have a way of competing " You're 100% regarding the Genocidal Hypocrites that is Israel, yet everyone STILL turns a blind eye!!! 🇵🇸 | |||

"Is this khlief,competing since 2017/2018 in womens boxing...also the boxer has been beaten by Amy broadhurst and kellie harrington Harrington won the quarter final in 2020 Broadhurst won a final in 2022 or around that 100% correct. Was stripped last year at the world champions. They should just create a new category. It's simple..let's trans athletes compete against each other. You do realise she is a woman yes?" A female with a XY chromosomes; were you not paying attention in biology class in school? Absurd and ridiculous that this individual was allowed in the same ring as other females | |||

"THERE ARE NO TRANS ATHLETES COMPETING IN THE 2024 OLYMPICS The people in question are not trans, have never identified as trans, and have always competed as women. The origin of the claim is a apparently from a Russian Telegram post. I believe one of them MAY have at some time had higher testosterone flagged. This is actually common enough in elite athletes. Doing a lot of sports raise a woman's testosterone. and women with naturally higher testosterone may have an advantage in sports. Olympic athletes undergo plenty of blood tests and medical exams. Every single sports agency, and governing body has their own policies and requirements around this. I trust them. THEY are the experts and the ones who decide what criteria matter and whether its fair. They have already done the work to rigorously check what's appropriate. No, I am not disgusted by the idea of a person who transitions wanting to continue playing sport. I don't support any sweeping ban based solely on someone's status as a trans person. Instead I trust sports governing bodies to have their own policies to determine where it is appropriate for them to play or not. This topic is constantly used to justify hostility to the entire trans community. As we've all seen in this thread, transphobic groups spread misinformation around the internet, and people lap it up. If trans athletes were an actual issue we would see them actually dominating competitions, but we don't - they barely exist. The rare handful that exist in the world have never dominated competitions, and have all been beaten many times by cis competitors. There is no justification for the hostility the media directs to that small community. Plenty of people in this thread were all to happy to jump on that bandwagon once they thought they had a good enough excuse with this olympics story. " Whats a transphobe; can you explain to me? | |||

Here, I'll spell it out for you: Female Competitor #1 with chromosomes XX vs Female Competitor #2 with chromosomes XX Male Competitor #3 with chromosomes XY vs Male Competitor #4 with chromosomes XY Competitor #5 who identifies as a gender that something other than birth chromosomes* vs Competitor #6 who identifies as a gender that something than birth chromosomes* *birth chromosomes XY and XX are male and female, respectively Can't get more equal than that | |||
