    DSD basically turns you into a man without your package. Intersex seems like an unfair advantage imo. Plus she's is disqualified from the Boxing federation for life because of the advantages.

      I looked up intersex. Everything in development that can go wrong is listed as birth defect except that, why? What to do except see where your chromosomes and hormones take you. Science and medicine is to blame for this. Governments skipped intersex to fund children's sex changes. Same goes for technological neuroscience enhancements, what does that do for schizophrenia? What is the agenda here? It's all wrong.

      She's not banned, and there's no evidence that she has DSD or even high testosterone. There is evidence that she has honed her body to be a boxer, and has lost a lot of body fat. She's built to fight, not to conform to your Western expectations of what women should look like. The IBA disqualified her for failing tests, which they never published. It was he IBA who were banned for corruption, not Imane. I bet you probably have some weird thoughts about athletes like Gabi Garcia and the female rugby star, Maher. Imane Khelif is about to litigate, so maybe we will be presented more evidence. Until then, I think you're whistling in the dark. And remember that the word "man" refers to gender, while the word "male" refers to sex.

      There are other variants, so it is very hard for some people, when people who have not studied in the field, says there's only XX, and XY. Apparently it's more complex than that, although that seems to be a baseline. I was ignorant, too, but I recently watched a biologist explain the other anomalies. I have no idea about the actual science, other than the fact that most of us are working with limited information.

      XXX and XXY are trisomy situations... XXX is XX(Female) with extra X (Triple X), XXY is XY(Male) with extra X (Klinefelter Syndrome). So "typically" XX or XY.
      Swyer Syndrome is XY (MALE) with a messed Y (Sry) chromosome resulting in female-like external characteristics.
      Now this might also include a uterus, and with modern medical intervention, you can get it to work (gestate). But these people do undergo puberty without intervention, and do not produce gametes etc.
      More importantly is that the Y chromosome is not benign, and it lays a foundation for other physiological compositions, beyond a penis or simply more testosterone; that true genetic females (XX, or XXX, or XX with extra testosterone, or XX + got the good genes) might ought not face in fighting tournaments.

      My gripe here is that people have been super quick to judge and label a situation that seems far from straight forward. From what we know it sounds like Imane was for all intensive purposes supposed to be born fully female, but might have had a genetic mutation.

    It is not true that they found no problem with him in 2022. The event was in Istanbul and his test showed chromosome xy, but because it was done late, the organisers were unable to disqualify Khalif. The following year (in New Delhi), they did the test just before the competition, and it was xy again. This time he was disqualified. The Turks could have taken the initiative to disqualify Khalif from the Paris Olympics on the basis of the 2022 test, but they were unsuccessful, unfortunately.

    @CryShana หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Good video. I will try my best to address multiple of your points, hope you take the time to read it.
    1 - I am also a community note writer - the reason they are not appearing yet is because community notes themselves are having a full-on war because the topic is so controversial. A note has to be agreed on by people with different views in order for it to appear to everyone.
    2 - Different sources claim different stuff about Imane Khelif. I personally do not know which are reliable and true. What I do know is this: The childhood pictures proved that she definitely lived as a woman her entire life. Because in Algeria legal sex change is illegal, the fact her legal sex is female means she was born female. She would not have had the ability to change it legally.
    3 - What bothers me most is how hateful people are. Even if Imane Khelif has huge unfair advantages or XY chromosomes. You can talk about those unfair advantages. But why call her a man? Why he/him? This is just plain unnecessary disrespect towards a human being. She joined the competition following official guidelines. She broke no rules. If people have issues with her having unfair advantages, take it with IOC, not her. Hating on her, calling her a man when she clearly lives as a woman, is just a bad faith way to argue. Why? Because it's a lot more rage-inducing saying "you support men beating women?" than "you support woman with unfair advantages beating women?" -- obviously the hateful people will prefer the earlier version.
    4 - IOC guidelines on fairness have been posted since 2021 and they take into account possible unfair advantages from sex variance. This is why trans women are not allowed to compete in women's league if they had transitioned after puberty. Because that would give them irreversible advantages caused by Testosterone. Guidelines also state that if evidence is provided someone has disproportionate advantage, they would be excluded. Given that Imane is still competing, I guess such evidence has not been presented yet. Either that or IOC is not enforcing their own rules - either way, it's the IOC's fault, not Imane's.
    5 - The Italian boxer actually apologized later on. She was just too emotional at that time. She apologized to Imane for reacting the way she did.
    6 - Imane Khelif has lost many times to women in other boxing competitions. One of those women she lost to is Amy Broadhurst. Amy Broadhurst is actually supporting Imane on twitter and is saddened by all the haters. So does Imane really have unfair advantage for women? I don't know, if you ask me it looks like she has good competition in women's league.
    7 - The most controversial fact: People think that XY means male and XX means female. This is not accurate, this is only a generalization because it applies to majority of humans. In fact there are countless (20+) other combinations of sex chromosomes a person can have (XXY,XXX,..), but I digress. The reason why XY doesn't automatically equals male is because there are individuals out there that have XY chromosomes and have given birth! Yes, people with XY have given birth, both unassisted birth and assisted birth using IVF. Such a person is a female, by the very definition of female. A female is a person that gives birth, a male is a person that produces gametes. This is why sexes exist, they exist for reproduction. If a person can give birth, it's a female, plain and simple. Now you may ask... but wait? Doesn't that definition exclude infertile people? Yes, yes it does. Technically an infertile woman is incapable of performing the female role, and is therefore not female. But OBVIOUSLY that is ridiculously, so we use generalizations --- one such generalization is XX/XY -- the other one is simply looking at sex characteristics. If a person has most female sex characteristics, we assume it's a female. This way even infertile women are included, even women that had their uterus removed, etc etc
    Now, whether Imane Khelif has XY or not, can give birth or not, I do not know. My point was to show that XY does NOT necessarily mean man. It can also be a woman. Fun fact, men can have XX too.
    8 - Most importantly, chromosomes do not define advantages. Your physical characteristics do. These develop under influence of hormones with help of the genes. Genes are just instructions for body development, hormones actually do the "body building". A woman with XX chromosomes (like a trans man) can inject testosterone pre-puberty and develop MANY if not all male characteristics that give them unfair advantage over women. Now imagine they stop transitioning, their hormones would revert back to normal female ranges. HOWEVER some testosterone induced changes DO NOT REVERT. Such as deeper voice, wider shoulders, other bone changes, etc... such a detransitioned person would therefore have XX chromosomes with some male advantages. Just like trans women transitioning after puberty. Whether these advantages are big or small depends really on genes.... it's a case-by-case situation. But my point is - stop looking at chromosomes to determine if it's unfair. Look at physical characteristics of a person.
    I don't have a good solution for this. Maybe we could introduce something similar to weight classes but would instead be testing these physical characteristics. Maybe an endurance or strength check? Who knows. My point is just to make people understand it's a complex topic
