There were no women in the original Olympics, either. We're just getting back to basics.
Seriously, though, how grotesque is it that combat sports are where they decided to allow this? We're lucky no one's been killed yet.

A few years ago I heard a feminist say that men weren't satisfied with winning everything, some had to become women so they could win those prizes as well.

Important to note that, she was born female identity with female genitalia (uterus, vagina) and this is not a case of a male to female transition. She looked like a normal female as a child, and that is not a woke transitioning country. Reportedly, it was only later in her life it was discovered she had underlying XY chromosomes with a genetic disorder.
Whether she should be allowed to compete or not, I can have some empathy for someone who grew up without a penis, believing they are female their whole life, wanting to pursue their passion.
To me this is a very shitty gray area, but she should not be lumped in with the born-male athletes who later transition and beat up on women.

Probably from over-supplementation, which would be just cause to ban IMO.
Details are scant as to her actual medical issues, but reportedly she has Swyer syndrome, born with female genitalia and no cock, no balls. No balls means you would need exogenous testosterone administered, which seems to have gone overboard in her case, possibly for athletic advantage. These patients are quite rare but normally you would expect them to have low levels of all reproductive hormones, both estrogen and testosterone as they have faulty non-functional gonads.

Agree it doesn’t seem right if she was disqualified from prior international competition for excessively high T levels.
But to me the discourse is just a little unfortunate and lacking nuance. People are saying she should be disqualified because she’s obviously a man. In actuality she’s genotype male but born phenotype of a female- without exogenous testosterone she would not have developed her masculine traits and would have remained phenotypically female her whole life. The real issues is she’s roided out to the gills.

No. The testoserone tests just showed elevated levels of endogenous hormone. No evidence of supplementation. In many sports, the absolute level of Testosterone is enough to rule if someone is allowed to compete as a woman. The rules vary between the Int. Boxing Assoc. And the IOC. For detection of doping, other measures are used such as hormonal ratios (epitestosterone/testosterone) as well as tests revealing synthetic variants. There is no evidence of doping in this case. She would have been banned from all sports for next few years already otherwise.

Personally, combat or contact fights as they call them... I would not consider them a sport... that is a grotesque and inhuman savagery... that also leads young people of 15, 16 or 17 years old to fight and they are sold that theory that it is a sport and it is good... and in some of those fights they receive blows to the head and begin to suffer headaches or insomnia and drive them to madness... and not satisfied with that, as they complain about the pain, they drug them to make them faster and take away the pain... and make them addicted!! That unfortunately is not a sport.

This ain't sports anymore. If you can't be man, just be a woman and beat them.
If a female switched to a male, can it (can't say he or she) beat men in a boxing bout. And if it can beat after switching, they could surey beat them without switching. What's going on with the world? This is the woke that we talk about, I'm clearly and openly against it.

Think the rules don't make sense? That's a different debate. But under current rules, she, emphasis on she, deserves to be allowed to compete.

When I posted this the article had misrepresented the facts to some extent. Clearly everyone has an agenda here on both sides. However, to allow this person to compete as a woman ignores reality. There is an obvious and unfair advantage that they are seeking to capitalize on.
In 1968 would it have been fair for George Foreman to fight as a featherweight, because he felt discriminated against because of his height and weight? Maybe he always felt like a featherweight?
It violates all sense of sport and fair play.

I understand the frustration. Interestingly, the European media hasn't tried to fit it into the culture or gender wars that seem to run amok in the US.
At a simple level, for all of human history, this woman would have been considered a woman due to having female sexual organs. It's only since the discovery of genetics and metabolomics that we have finer understanding of borderline phenotypes.
Personnally, I think gender doesn't exist and everyone should compete against everyone (keep age and weight categories).
But if you believe gender is a binary thing, then technically she is a woman.

In the context of fight sports or actual combat, she would have been considered a goddess of war for her ability to crush skulls.
And yes, I don't think gender as a category exists. It's a distribution with two peaks along a spectrum. I am a biologist. I don't care about your insecurities.
By the way, if you say she should not compete because it's unfair. Then you are saying we should do genetic testing on all previous medallists and record holders across all sports to see if they were genetically advantaged and stripped of their medals and records. For fairness. That's silly.
