Not trans in this case. He's a male with female anatomy as a result of a genetic syndrome/disorder (that affects only men as far as I can make out). So his sex chromosomes and physicality are male, and testosterone production is male. I have sympathy for the individual but in a contact sport such as boxing, and by the regulations of the boxing authority, he is ineligible for the women's category. The IOC should follow that ruling.
His opponent Angela Carini stopped the fight after 46 seconds through fear for her own safety 😞
@Miram@Straylight I locked my thread, because some people were being offensive so not sure if you saw my reply which I have amended slightly and posted above these tags.

@helsbels 'One of Khelif’s past opponents has spoken out about their fight in 2022. Mexico’s Brianda Tamara said that Khelif’s power and strength was unbelievable and that she had never ‘felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men’. She was grateful that she ‘got out of the ring safely’.

@NoThanksLeon Nothing to do with you

She wasn’t transgender or a man?

@BatmanIRL thank you - but I didn't change it to please you but to be more precise - not trying to be sassy or rude. The meaning of transgender would make her a actual / true transgender person - Born as such. But because people have been conditioned to associate the word in a particular way I changed it.

She made a comment about the power of his punches - is why she bowed out.
I don't care about whether you're black / white / or blue ____ rich / poor ____ male / female / transgender ______ but I do care about fairness and this is unfair.

Yes it is and what's worse the males and females that are just fine with it.

Another end result of liberalism. They wanted it, now they got it.

@Jimbo1 It has been raised, time and time again but just gets ignored or dismissed. I agree it should never get to this point, and be sorted out long before.
The same discussions happened over Caster Semanya (who has fathered two children but ran as a woman!). There are conditions that exist that will lead to these scenarios and rules need to be put in place around them, as unpopular as it might be to some.
To call it pearl clutching is wrong though, it's dangerous above all before you even consider the fairness angle.
