The first three involve horses so are not solely dependent on the sex of the riders.

I must agree with you with the final two in your list but had my mind more on events where physicality makes an appreciable difference like in......erm......boxing, or running, say.

That's the point, the IOC don't.

They have said that they are happy to rely on self-identification and a passport.

Conkers ?

As I understand things, sparkly, if an issue stops the fetus forming the male genitalia as it should, then nature reverts to forming the default female genitalia. It is therefore a rare condition where a biological male has the body appearance of a female.

 

The question is, what advantages and disadvantages arise from that; and how, when sport is divided into two groups on the grounds of fairness, such individuals fit in. I think it overwhelmingly looks like they don't fit into either group.

auntypoll:"The whole point is deskdiary that there is no hard evidence to prove these boxers are male." - perlease, he has a Y chromosome, you can't get any harder evidence than that.

I'll say something, 'her' behaviour at the end of the bout and the press conference on winning the gold was not very feminine at all. If Imane wants the world to think of 'her' as a woman 'she' should try and project that image.

One thing is for sure, all the real women in that boxing class have been wickedly treated with utter disdain.

I put this in a separate post yesterday, Tora, but one of the prefects deleted it. It may help.

And comprehensive sex tests are not compulsory and therefore not done. The sporting industry needs to get their act together and all areas agree the same processes and subsequent action.

Biological man beats-up woman and wins gold.

 

'Her' face and 'her' body composition is that of a bloke.

douglas; Interesting article - I'M now more confused than Khelif.  

[mushroom25]

interesting observation made (and reported on xwitter) following Khelif's victory, as the boxer was carried shoulder high in celebration.

how come a muslim woman is being touched by a man (carrying them) who is not related or married to them?

// The prophet (PBUH) said, it is better to get a nail driven into your head than to touch a female that is legal for him to marry without the marriage. It is an example of the greatness of the sin. //

[Old_Geezer]

Ah... we are all sinners.

There's going to be a real transgender competitor in the paralympics.

Italy have selected this male to female sprinter, and claim it's an inclusive move. I wonder how the ones born females will feel wheb they line up alongside Valentina
