Don't tell me. Google trans boxer Olympics and tell those people freaking out about it. Then they don't know what trans is. It's likely a man (XY) that could pass for a man in looks (the shape of her face, narrow hips, etc). A biological man that passes as a man isn't a trans. Also, as a child she had very large feet and hands for her age, usually indicative of XY. She was probably born without external genitals, but genetically an XY. They could easily put this to rest by releasing some objective test result (chromosomes or T levels). These are simple tests, relatively inexpensive, and accurate. What matters most from a fair competition angle, are T levels. It's surprising that they're not checking this anyway to ensure that no cheating's going on. Edit: Testing isn't new. Not testing (starting in the 90's) is what's new. www.cnn.com/2024/08/02/sport/who-is-imane-khelif-olympic-boxer-intl/index.html |

Conversely, a woman with masculine features who says she's a woman, isn't a trans. Either way this person isn't trans.

The truth is, we're just above average height and Rogan is close to average. My subconcious social biases wants me to agree with you, however, when you look at the real world stats.. average male height is 5'9" and Rogan is only 1" under that. |

From what I saw, it's left-leaning media reporting this as a trans debate and labeling conservatives as anti-trans. Right-leaning Skynews Australia explicitly stated that these boxers are not trans, but rather, previously tested as (XY) intersex persons. Indeed, the people pictured here likely represent the "I" in LGBTQIA, hence your pride, eagerness, and reasoning for posting this photo. lol |

Who could've guessed the only two XY's were going to compete for the gold Russia is the only people saying a boxer is XY after their boxer lost, and they offered no evidence at all |

Who could've guessed the only two XY's were going to compete for the gold Russia is the only people saying a boxer is XY after their boxer lost, and they offered no evidence at all IBA did the testing. It's an international organization (with the history to prove it, other countries were involved in their history prior to Russia becoming part of it), hence the "I" (for international) in IBA. See their timeline in the link below. www.iba.sport/about-iba/our-history/IOC's only reasoning for dismissing the test results was that the tests were "arbitrary and illegitimate, saying there was no reason to conduct them." No reason says you. Saying there's no reason to do testing is a phony bologna because high T levels have similar effect as someone on 'roids, giving the person extra strength, speed, endurance. www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/olympics-boxing-algerian-khelif-wins-womens-semi-final-amid-gender-dispute/ar-AA1omDIE?ocid=BingNewsSerpThe IOC's only standard for gender qualification is whatever's displayed on the athletes' passports. And we all know, in many western countries (and on their respective passports), a person's gender is whatever they personally choose to self-identify as. |

Who could've guessed the only two XY's were going to compete for the gold Russia is the only people saying a boxer is XY after their boxer lost, and they offered no evidence at all Legally, they can only say if a person qualified or was disqualified, due to privacy regulations prohibiting the release of personal health info (which includes testing specifics, like a person's DNA - XY or XX, and so on). Regardless, it's not up to the IBA who particpates in the Olympics. That's the IOC and they admit to doing zero testing. Hell, they don't even test for doping (blatant cheating, even if you're on the fence regarding the science of Testosterone's effects), hence Congress (bipartisan) raising the issue. slackercentral.freeforums.net/post/36660Saying there's no evidence, with zero testing being done (and throwing out prior testing with the only rationale being "it isn't needed"), is like saying there's no sky because you refuse to look up. The Olympic's (IOC and WADA) lack of standards or testing is more like an absurd joke than controversy. |

Nintendo generally had better software (with exceptions in some genres - 2D shooters, sports games, fighting games, arcade ports - w/ Sega taking the lead), despite always lagging behind with their hardware specs. In sports genre though, only Nintendo figured out how to make fun boxing games (Punch-Out), imo. Also, for certain games, like Road Rash 1/2/3 (which were great) on the Megadrive/Genesis, ports for the Super Nintendo would've been impossible to make because its cpu was too slow. |

There used to be an awesome playlist on YouTube of his entire wrestling career. He went back and finished a storyline even when he knew he was dying of cancer. |
