    Also the boxer isn’t even trans. The article says she grew up female and her parents discouraged her from getting into boxing as a kid because it was seen as a masculine sport. It seems like she only discovered she has a Y chromosome once she joined a boxing league that checked the chromosomes of boxers. The Olympics don’t have rules regarding chromosomes of athletes so she’s allowed to compete.

      Saying “He’s not even trans, he’s just a regular dude punching women” is a helluva take

        Huh? I said she was born female and is female. She’s cis. She’s a woman from birth.

          Anyone born with a Y chromosome is a man or intersex. He didn’t know he was a man/intersex until later in life, but that absolutely refutes “born female”, “is female”, “she’s cis”, and “woman from birth”. He should not be in women’s sports, because he is not a woman

              My comment was not long, I’m not sure why you skipped past the “or intersex” twice in it.

              I don’t know what’s in his pants. I haven’t seen anyone claim other than you that he has a vagina, but that doesn’t really matter. Intersex people can have ambiguous genitals. He is still not a woman, and should not be in women’s sports. He is free to compete in men’s sports.

          We agree with each other? He’s either a man or intersex. He shouldn’t be competing in women’s sports.
