XX=Female; XY=Male. Please, I have taught Biology and Health classes. It is sad for these people who were born with an hormonal imbalance, but it is not fair to women's sports. Maybe create another category? Women's sports has made strides, please don't take it away.

[nopenope]

Women deserve fairness and safety in sport. Athletes who have been tested & found to have XY (male) chromosomes must be welcomed into the male category with all care and respect.

[chaldeanbabylon]

The world is so fucked
Shame on the governments for not protecting women sport
Bringing in men who claim to be women and beat up women who worked hard to achieve her dream in a sport that she loves
I have no faith in politicians & governing bodies

[CwinnerS]

Women's sports should be for real women alone.

[b.alexanderjohnstone]

They are not booing women boxers. Your title is ridiculous. Why would anyone go to the Olympics to boo the boxers? They boo FOR women boxers.

[wangnyemanghaakonyak]

This year's Olympics really sucks.🤮🤮🤮

[preek]

If they have XY, and have high testosterone level equal to a male, why not put then in the male category.... They will be a better fit there.

[geneviinfimate]

Its discusting the opening ceremony was also discusting

[andysurvival]

Everyone can see, that this olympic fight is between a man against a woman.
Why are we so sick to let this happen?!

[TedTrinity]

It is very simple XX competes with XX and XY competes with XY no controversy and stop pushing agendas. If you don't want to compete fairly don't compete. Find something else to do

[nayayelin-nkhc]

XY ≠ XX (21st century human being are so advanced that they dispute over someone being a male or female.🤣)

[ribbitopower]

Thank goodness I am not watching the Olympics. Just hearing their disgraceful news.

[anonymousa-uyhk]

Lin doesn’t just have higher testosterone levels. Lin is actually a male with DSD.. the reason he failed the sex testing is because he has XY chromosomes, something only men can have, hence the higher testosterone levels. He should NEVER have been allowed into that fight.

[matthewmangum]

Both of these boxers are MALE/XY chromosomes. A abdominal ultrasound would solve this issue quickly!

[charliegrey]

it is dumb founding that the test was the presence of xy chromosomes and the ioc centered on testosterone levels.
that is just too dumb.

[polarbear]

If these two athletes had been DQ'd before, why did Paris accept them? Well the opening ceremony should give us hints.

[jwitek]

I believe this is a terrible decision by Paris Olympics, letting a biological man punch a biological woman and think this was okay, Just because a man wants to portray as a woman don't make him one. I think we threw out our common sense. I would like to know who made this okay to do. Was it a man that decided this. You got to think does this man literally hate women. So if that's the case does this man want to hurt all women. Love to know.

[Godskingdomwithin]

This is not about testosterone levels although that is a factor, it’s about someone who is born a male who then feels they are female throughout their life, and the truth is a man is physically stronger than a female, normally speaking. Allowing this woman or man whoever he/she thinks he is to fight at the Olympics, is so unfair I just don’t have words to express my disappointment with theOlympic Committee! This is just so wrong, and unfair, it’s a disgrace, and it enrages me!

[hlg-podi]

Have a lot of sympathy for transgendered and those with hormonal issues.
But why are Olympics organisers against gender testing 2:30? Carini got literally beaten up (not beaten) within a minute. Is it fair to the opponent in such cases?

"Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is. " -carolinekwan (twt)
