I strongly suspect these boxers have DSDs and aren’t trans. Either way, the IOC/national and international sporting bodies have had bleeping YEARS to clamp down on this tit.Barry McGuigan is unimpressed by two male boxers competing against women in the Olympics

I believe they are AFAB who are intersex. That's different from being a man. I don't know about their medical history and obviously shouldn't, but there are intersex variations like my own where people have a female phenotype and are AFAB but later are found to be intersex and have xy chromosomes.I am sorry to see that there are indeed male athletes in women’s sports at the Olympics. Cheats.
XY individuals should compete in the male category with no exceptions.I believe they are AFAB who are intersex. That's different from being a man.

Being intersex, having xy chromosomes and even having high levels of testosterone don't necessarily confer unfair advantage. People like ne who have CAIS will have high levels of testosterone, sometimes higher than normal men, but will have no response physiologically to the androgens - CAIS stands for Complete Androgen Insensitivity. So we don't have any of the results/benefits of male puberty or testosterone.
So the relevant sporting bodies and doctors are best placed to judge whether an intersex athlete has an unfair advantage over non-intersex women. It would depend on what intersex variation the person has, what treatments, what grade of variations etc, and also I guess on the demands of the sport.
Men with malformed genitalia aren’t women. We have had years of scouts exploiting this - trying to find men with 46,XY like Semenya so they can make a lot of money beating women.I believe they are AFAB who are intersex.

Exactly. We have discussed Caster Semenya on the thread before. Caster is a male individual with a DSD. In everyday life he uses “he” pronouns and is referred to as is his wife’s “husband” and as their children’s “father” (he may even be the biological father as this is possible in some cases with IVF) by the wife herself.Men with malformed genitalia aren’t women. We have had years of scouts exploiting this - trying to find men with 46,XY like Semenya so they can make a lot of money beating women.
Semenya doesn’t identify as a woman except on the track. I’m betting these blokes are the same.
They are men who have gone through male puberty. They don’t have CAIS.
They aren’t really best placed to judge when they have been quite happy to have actual men compete in women’s sports.So the relevant sporting bodies and doctors are best placed to judge whether an intersex athlete has an unfair advantage over non-intersex women.

By posters who have seemingly popped up from nowhere?Real crime thread full of misogyny again. Somehow people are taking offence to a discussion around men being dangerous, in a thread literally discussing dangerous, violent crimes that have been carried out by men in the last 24 hours, because it's alienating to the good men. duck off.
Like arguing with a brick wall, that one!By posters who have seemingly popped up from nowhere?
on a day a male has killed children. Given it was a Taylor Swift themed activity it’s very likely mostly, if not all, girls. And the staff were probably women too.
but will someone think about the poor men who don’t do these things! Today of all days ffs![]()
I believe it. Nice little earner for all involvedSharron Davies said many years ago that there are agents travelling around poor areas, seeking out children with DSDs as potential medal winners.
Yes I remember reading that on this thread. It made me think differently about intersex athletes. I had previously felt sorry for them being singled out, especially Caster Semenya, but when I did a bit more reading I was shocked and felt cheated that “she” and others were well aware of their unfair advantage. Again, especially Caster, who lives life as a man everywhere except the track.Sharron Davies said many years ago that there are agents travelling around poor areas, seeking out children with DSDs as potential medal winners.
Are drag artists considered trans by trans people? I don't really understand how someone who genuinely believes they are the opposite sex thinks that a man who dresses up as a woman for an entertainment act is the same as them?

People are ANGRY in the comments. Lying thorough their teeth that this was actually a portrayal of Greek mythology not the blatant mockery of Christianity. Gaslighting is second nature to these people. Also accusing the article of being transphobic (but of course) when the criticism was of men in woman face not even trans people. An absolute joke.
