- A Taiwanese boxer at the centre of a gender controversy has fought her way into a medal position. Lin Yu-ting won her match Sunday, joining Algeria’s Imane Khelif in the semi-finals.
Their inclusion in the games has sparked a torrent of backlash but the International Olympic Committee has staunchly defended both athletes, confirming that they are both women.

I love the Olympics. But, this is very sickening.
This Olympics is a mockery, a slap on a face for ppl who've trained for years. It's just disturbing in many ways.
There needs to be a new feminist movement for woman, it's cruel how real women's rights have been completely destroyed over the last decade! We all have a mother, and her first name has never changed, but her rights have!

Lin and Imane ARE two FEMALES. Which is confirmed by IBA itself. These two female players are XX for years, and suddenly IBA disqualified them after IBA had some grudges against IOC. Julia Szeremeta's coach has admitted the IBA tried to bribe her to spread rumors against Lin, she refused IBA immediately for she was once a viticm of discrimination. Everyone should know this.

Today's world views wokeness is Sickening
You're telling me two males are going to compete for the top in the woman boxing bracket?
So I guess women can just stop applying to the olympics then. It's all male athletes from now on, baby.
Interesting that the IOC president said that the X chromosone tests were invalid yet the IOC didn't do their own chromosone test.
They were probably paid good money to keep their eyes shut 😁
Is the I.O.C. President a woke male, a woke female or has he/she not yet made up his woke mind yet?
The boxing association was knowingly corrupt and wouldn’t have over proof to back up what they said that they mysteriously had tests in 24 hours, thus not respecting her privacy in blurting that out to try to hurt it, yet saying they couldn’t show their proof, hence partly why they got rid of them . A professional organization wouldn’t disclose the reasons why you failed or passed and just announce it to all or answer every mob or witch hunt bc there’s too much prejudice. The truth is professionally silent like a Dr who doesn’t share your medical information
Yes, journalist need to ask him the definition of a woman. I am pretty sure he will not say “ a woman is an adult human female “ because he believes a woman is someone who believes they are a woman.
They were banned for just making accusations at an odd time after the defeat of a Russian boxer rather than before the matches or all those other times she fought and said they had results 24 hours later suddenly after a match and failed to show proof privately or disclosing methods to the OIC, yet blurted out inhumanly not respecting privacy at all
causing Imane great pain in life. They had many corrupt dealings prior to this and were banned from the IOC… just can’t blurt out or claim results without proof or explaining your methods because getting genetic results for me in a lab sure took longer than 24 hours. If the OIC does test people and they don’t want to be crudely invasive about it, truth would be quiet and private like signing forms like at a doctor’s office and not announced to the world, but only between professionals with a need to know. Don’t have out results or evidence to bullies or mobs…
What kind of hypocrite can be proud of themselves for competing, let alone winning?
Where are all the outraged feminists ?
well, i’m just not super angry anymore is all. God will have his way, justice and truth and love, he is all these things, and they never fail.
Everywhere. Obviously you lack the intelligence to find it. We've been outraged and discussing this for years.
Nobody wants to lose their jobs, doxed, get harsh backlash etc for speaking out. Look at what J.K Rowling has experienced. She has money so she doesn’t have to worry about losing her job. In the past you could protest anonymously but not anymore.

@@ufapmc Yeah, crying for anything to cry about.
Shame on the IOC......
Read the IOC doc on non-discrimination and inclusion (can’t link it here as my comment keeps getting tagged as spam) This is very interesting…. It almost ignores any genetic testing and implys that variations of gender identity are acceptable. I find it interesting that the IOC indicates the gender from a document perspective (like they have a female passport) but WILL NOT disclose how this is determined definitively My opinion….Anything other than XX genetically should not be considered for female competition…. Also XX individuals with elevated testosterone should (and are) also be ineligible as it is proven that elevated testosterone is a way to increased strength, endurance and muscle mass, and I might add, would also be considered doping for females over a certain level (no limit for males). So the IOC says that the IBA decision to disqualify was flawed…. But when you look at the document that I referenced above….. gender determination is fairly subjective according to the IOC ….thank you for being so WOKE …NOT…. So…. I am aware that this leaves out intersex individuals and other variations of sex chromosomes, however we MUST have a specific and enforceable metric for gender identity in world class competitions to ensure fairness and safety of participants.
The female boxer should just boycott innprotest
Apparently her coach won't let her. And likely some hefty punishments for not going along, as well as risk to eligibility for future competitions. The people in charge of this monstrosity are making sure no one can walk away.
Without fairness and a level playing field, the Olympic Games have no meaning.

That match where the Italian Woman was knocked out with one hit by that man aired live all around the world and it was really painfull to watch. Not only the physical pain he caused to her but to see her not having even chance after years of hard work as female athlete to get into Olymbics. If this is not injustice then what is. Why there is even different leagues for males and females if twice as bigger men are now allowed to compete against women..?
@susanna8612 This is a case where you can have your cake and eat your opponent's too. I can't blame the guy if the IOC allows it.
XY = male. What's the controversy?
She was born with female external genitals and identified as a woman at birth. Internal testes preserved male puberty development. The controversy is that a lot of 46 XY DSD compete and win golds at the Olympics. Why are we singling 2 people out?
The controversy is whether that test was accurate, or whether, like other female athletes, people are just accusing them of being men because they aren't dainty. You're expecting the IOC to pull their pants down to prove they are women. That's the controversy.

They are not. Everyone can see that even without the test.

Every thing is corrupt and not worth watching anymore.
IOC picking and choosing which eligibility rules to use, nice
A man beat up a woman , what a shocker.
A man beat up SEVERAL women, with the consent of the IOC, feminists, and the woke mob.
Khelif was identified as a female at birth, was raised a girl, and has been competing in women's boxing since 2018.
She also competed at the Tokyo Olympics, losing in the quarter final to Kellie Harrington of Ireland.
Insanity. The simple solution would be for the women to refuse to compete but none are doing that. If Leah Thomas was the only swimmer in the water when the match began, advertisers (i.e. the $ providers) would do something about it. Can you imagine them giving a man the win after that match without a second or 3rd place. It would demonstrate how ridiculous it all is.
I agree. Why they dont do it is because it would destrpy their future carreers. Countries would not choose them to represent the country anymore next time. All women athletes should stand behind them but they are probably afraid to lose their livelyhood.
The IBA has claimed Imane has XY genes. Why wont the IOC directly counter this claim, instead of vague claims like "the test isn't legitiment" without explaining why. If the IOC is comfortable claiming an athlete has passed or failed a PED test, they should feel comfortable claiming an athlete has passed a simple chromosome test.
IBA has not given any proves.
Because the IOC has a different agenda ..look at Mark Adam’s background
There should be a division just for XX chromosome athletes, and another division for everyone else.
We already have one. It's called the woman's bracket. So far that meant only females could compete against other females, no males allowed.

First of all, we haven't seen any proof of the claim against the two athletes the head of IBA claims have "male chromosomes".
Aside from that, somewhere between 1 per 10K and 1 per 15K of all women have XY chromosomes, (DSD).
While it can make it very hard for some of them to become pregnant, some of them actually do become pregnant and give birth - so unless you're going to tell me that biological males can become pregnant and give birth, then it's possible for women to have XY chromosomes.
So she's NOT a "he"...

It's possible someone in the IOC is trying to take a moral stand for something here, but we will probably never know the truth. In any case, it'll quietly be forgotten soon, since China is also a big IOC contributor.

“The individual intimate details” are the only metric that has ever been needed or used before and now it’s disgraceful to discuss such things!? The genitalia of the athlete is extremely relevant here. What is he hiding?
It's disgustingly simple. You take a cheek swab, or a blood sample, and you test it. Whatever it shows, that's the reality. Period.
If they can demand and carry out random urine tests, this is nothing. Like a swab or blood draw is more humiliating than have to drop your pants and pee in front of a stranger? No way.
Absolutely disgusting 🤮. Trump should put sanctions on Taiwan for all of this and force Nvidia to relocate to the U.S., unfortunately Harris won't do anything and is completely silent on this issue.

Exactly why I refused to watch the olympics.
Gay olympics.
Shame , shame . World must stop this crazy
Idk about the Taiwan fighter but after doing research, the other fighter, inane khefla, who grew up in a very Muslim society identified as a female since birth with old photos of her at 5 in a old village, and apparently confirmed to have female organs.
Which means she/he or whatever the hell it is, could actually be intersex. This has happened before with an female African runner some years back and was temporarily disqualified until further testing.
However running is different vs fighting against a 100% biological female. She was tested with higher testosterone but she was knocked out 9 times. I just dont know what to say.
There's nothing more than a picture, and photographs can be retouched...so their validity certainly isn't guaranteed.
Get your head up. The IOC could have cleared this up by just re-testing the athlete(s) in question. But they'd rather carry on with this grift. They've essentially discredited the whole Olympics and what they stood for, permanently.
@@sadee1287 They go by the gender in their passports, which in the Algerian's case is female. You really think Algeria would allow people to change their gender on their passports, or allow an a trans athlete to represent them? It's illegal to even be gay there. This is why geography and some basic knowledge of other countries is so important. As realaebros said, she's probably just intersex. Now if you want to have a conversation about the fairness of intersex people competing with either sex, and whether they may have advantages or disadvantages and how those should be addressed, that's fine. But don't imply that this is somehow a "woke" or "culture war" or "identity politics" or "lgbtqia+ gone mad" thing. It has nothing to do with transgender or liberalism or wokeness. If you want to discuss the issue of transgender people in sport, that's fine, but it's a separate topic that is completely irrelevant to the Algerian woman.
But chromosome is what matters. That affects the body structure xy = male. Some people are born with both genitals but if they have xy chromosome their body grows like a male, even if they would have vagina. And I dont think he has womb in any case.
