    9If that wiki page is correct, then chromosome testing should be done. Was the testing done? What were the results? If it was not done, then why not?

    How is women fighting women in a sport discriminatory against women?

          Feelings are great, let me know when you can think critically instead of regurgitate nonsense and repeat disproven or intentional vagueries.

            So was it critical thinking that made you say that I needed testing? Obviously critical thinking is not your forte.

            Are you against regulations? That’s fine. I happen to support regulations.

            What “disproven or intentional vagueries” have I said?

              You stated that this person was intersex, and that was a valid reason for her disqualification up and down this thread, before the mods intervened of course.

              Continuing to believe in disproven theories, or concepts without imperical evidence, is clearly a logical falicy at best, or you are intentionally spreading misinformation because you are a Russian bot at worst.

              Give the above assertions, yes, mental health, intelligence, and a prescription of “touching grass” at a minimum. Are you an athlete? Do you compete at an Olympic level? No? Then how does that impact you in any way shape or form? Did you ever watch the Olympics to have any kind of investment? Honestly that’s all a little weird.

              There are very simple regulations. You just don’t like the regulations. She was identified as biologically female at birth. It says so on her birth certificate. Her passport says she’s a woman. Those are the regulations whether you like them or not.

        Winding back to my first post. The Olympic committee has to decide. Decisions shouldn’t be adhoc.

        Athletes spend time and effort. They shouldn’t have to prepare for a competition where they will be expelled.

          What makes you think these decisions were “ad hoc?”

          What do you think ad hoc means? And what part of “we checked out this athelete and she met all of our criteria to compete in womans’ boxing” don’t you get?

          What failing do you think the IOC commited in allowing a cis woman to compete in womens’ boxing?

      Why should testing be done over some allegation by an organization that’s not recognized by the IOC?

      How do you not know that chromosomes don’t tell anything near to the whole story? You can be XX and look biologically male your whole life or XY and the opposite.

      I hate it when people think something as ridiculously complex as the human genome can be summed up so simply.
