The allegations that Olympic boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting failed an eligibility test for women's competition have been made by only the International Boxing Association.
She is not trans. At most what I read is that she is somewhat in the intersex spectrum.
(This is at leas what newspapers were reporting a few days ago)
That’s what the IBA claims, but it seems they did it so the Russian boxer she defeated would still have a “perfect” record by invalidating their match. They made the same claim against the Taiwanese boxer who is a double world champion (I can’t find the reasoning for it though). There is no credibility to the claims that either are anything but cis woman.
No, I read it from many newspapers and commentators that were defending her, if that matters. It is also something somewhat compatible with the initial claim of the IBA (having XY chromosomes), but of course nothing is certain at the moment.
They were reporting on the IBAs claim that she had XY chromosomes, which, as stated, has absolutely no credibility. They won’t reveal what test they did or how they arrived at those results. When all evidence suggests they made shit up to disqualify her it’s both disingenuous and cruel to give the claims any credence whatsoever.
No they were not (the articles), they were explicitly citing the IBA precedent as unreliable and instead providing possible alternatives, with the caveat that they are not confirmed. It was just the most “quoted” possibility at the time.
See for yourself was I was referring to (you can translate)
Did you even read the full article you provided? It literally says that the only source of the claim is the president of the IBA. It points out that having XY chromosomes could mean intersex and not necessarily trans, but it explicitly says there have been no other claims to support this whatsoever.
In my very first comment I said exactly what’s written in the article. At the moment the opinion everyone is assuming (this was 1st of August) is that she is in the intersex spectrum. I said “at most” because it’s not even certain.
Not sure why you think you need to argue when I simply reported what mainstream news was reporting and I am not even contesting what you are saying lol.

How is it different from what I said?

None of it matters to the right. She’s not allowed to be a woman anymore.
