          So she is just a normal woman? Born with ovaries? Just she worked out more and it’s better at the sport? So if it’s that way I believe it’s fair play.

        Mate I appreciate that you seem to be coming at this with honest curiosity, but do yourself a favour and get this information from reputable news sources.

        This whole thing is so polarised and so full of misinformation that anything you read from randos on social media you have no way of knowing if it’s credible or complete bullshit.

            There is no take. She’s a woman. She was born a woman. She always was a woman.
            She doesn’t have XY chromosomes or is in any other way intersex, to anyone’s knowledge. She’s just a woman that doesn’t fit into some people’s narrow views of what a woman should look like.
            This has nothing to do with trans issues.

        She’s a generic women, XY female it’s a thing. That being said we don’t know if she actually is XY female. The IOC says she’s meets all qualifications to fight as a female, those being assigned female at birth and female on her passport. The only source we have that she may have XY chromosomes is the IAB president telling media that’s what her disqualification was about.

        It should be noted though that we don’t know what tests, if any, were performed to determine this. Also to, the best of my knowledge, there’s no actual proof of elevated testosterone levels aside from the disqualification last year.

        I think that the IOC banned the IAB from running the Olympic competition and the complete lack of transparency from the IAB cats a big shadow on their ruling.
