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
Kinda weird you're saying someone born with a vagina is a man but alright.
Have you checked or are you just saying what makes you feel nice?
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.
