Elevated Levels of Testosterone _ Paris Olympics _ SHAME

Rephrasing _ testosterone also = physical strength muscle mass as - most women don't have the muscle strength of a male. There are some women who can stand toe to toe with a male but the majority can't. And the Olympics! Most are not professionals!

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’.
