Olympics: Men Beating Women

Now men can get medals for beating up women in front of judges and fans.

News:

Italian boxer Angela Carini came out of the boxing ring just 46 seconds and abandoned her women's 66kg bout against Algerian Imane Khelif on Thursday at the Paris Olympic Games 2024.

Carini's unprecedented move sparked massive debate online with many blaming the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for allowing athletes who had previously failed testosterone and gender eligibility tests.

Khelif, 25, gained unwanted attention when she was disqualified shortly before the gold medal match at the 2023 World Championships for not meeting the International Boxing Association's (IBA) eligibility rules. The world boxing body doesn't allow athletes with XY chromosomes to participate in women's events.

Wikipedia:
In March 2023, she again reached the final of the IBA Women's World Boxing Championships, but was disqualified shortly before the gold medal bout for failing to meet eligibility criteria. The Algerian Olympic Committee stated that Khelif was disqualified for medical reasons. It was later reported that the disqualification was due to high levels of testosterone in her system.[8][9] According to International Boxing Association (IBA) president Umar Kremlev, DNA testing of Khelif and other athletes "proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events".[10]

There is speculation that Khelif may have a disorder of sex development (DSD), which causes some females to have XY chromosomes and blood testosterone levels typical of a male.[11][12] In Algeria, the country that Khelif represents, transgender identity is prohibited, changing gender or sex on identity documents is not permitted, nor are medical or hormonal treatments allowed to transition to another sex. Khelif made an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport but later withdrew it,[3] making the IBA decision legally binding.[13]

So I guess he/she has males genes that are not functioning because of disorder. Such people are usually called female.

What is the point of Olympics womens boxing? So freaks can beat up on ordinary women?

I don't know what the deal is with Katie Ledecky. She is tall, with broad shoulders, narrow hips, and muscular arms. If she is a women, she must be the best female swimmer ever. She appears to be another freak.

Update: Here is an explanation of why boxers with XY chromosomes should be considered male, and not compete in boxing against females.

Update: Here is another explanation. This situation is a good reason to stop using the term "sex assigned at birth". It appears that these boxers are males who were mislabelled as female at birth. They are trans women if that is defined as men who identify as women, but they might have never undergone a transgender process.
