I am not confused. You dont know anything about intersex and pathophysiology behind it. So keep quiet.
Okay, doctor!

Xy chromosomes does not have the final say.
We have only three genders, which are male with usual reproductive organ, female with the usuall reproductive organ and the one that has both(have forgotten the name).

But the above is what i know.

Okay...

But what about the xy chromosomes present?

Botragelad:
You can be a pregnant woman and have XY chromosome. You know that right? So does it make them any less of a woman?
I can also tell you that sex chromosomes are not the sole determinant of a person's sex or gender. XY chromosomes don't automatically make someone "male". It's complex.

And what about individuals with variations like XXY, XYY, or Turner syndrome? Do they not fit into your "male" or "female" boxes? It's like you've never heard of intersex conditions or the nuances of human biology.

So please kindly explain to me how does not having XY chromosomes automatically disqualify someone from competing in women's sports. I await your response. Thanks!
The most retarded comparison I have ever heard,
Pregnancy is not the gender.

Why aren’t intersex people as talked about as trans ones? Imagine if Michael Jackson never had vitiligo, Africans would lynch people with the condition, claiming they were witches.

What's this human saying?
Mosaicism is the presence of two or more different cell populations within an individual, its not a mutation per se, call it a natural occurrence that can affect anyone. And, I might add, it's not necessarily a disorder, just tells you about the complexity of human biology.

I'm guessing, you're still stuck on hormones and visible sex organs, aren't you? I mentioned estrogen and progesterone to illustrate the nuances of sex determination, not to suggest they're the sole arbiters of gender. And, of course, testosterone is present in females, just as estrogen and progesterone are present in males. It's all about the delicate balance of these hormones.

As for other determinants of gender, I've mentioned chromosomal variations, hormonal influences, etc. But, I suppose, that's too much for you to grasp.
I don't know, but your argument, is a jumbled mess of nonsense!😂
There seems to be a contradiction in your assertion. You said Mosaicism "can happen to anyone", yet it's not a disorder. If it's not a disorder, why isn't it common?

It's quite straightforward, really, for those who can be bothered to read and do their own research without blindly following the crowd of misinformation.

Below, you'll find photos of her from when she was a youngster, as well as her record. And, might I add, she's had a few fight and come out on the losing end, too.
The people crying about this for days now wanted her to be trans so bad.
Since the beginning of the Olympics, a lot of misinformation and agendas have been flying around.
Men pretending to be women competing with women is totally wrong but people need to stop reacting aggressively to every false rumour that comes out.

Yes, mosaicism can occur in anyone. It's a natural phenomenon resulting from errors during cell division. But, simply because it's not a disorder, doesn't mean it's a common occurrence.

Think of it like a typo in a script or something. it can happen to anyone, but that doesn't mean every book is full with errors. I would say the human body has mechanisms to correct such mistakes, ensuring they remain rare.

It's common, but its existence doesn't imply a disorder. Your confusion stems from conflating rarity with pathology.

That doesn't change the fact that she has XY chromosomes which makes her 'male'

Males should not be allowed to take part in women games
If that is how you argue, then genetic markings take the cake in deciding wether someone is male or female not outward physical formation (boobs and vagina). This means that a man can be born in woman skin?

Trans are not natural sir... they're man made😂
Did you even read my comment at all? I did not say anything about trans being natural. The lady in question is not trans. She was born a lady and you’re saying she’s a man cause of her chromosomes and, therefore, shouldn’t participate in women’s sports. If she transitioned her body into a man to match her chromosomes, you’d still say she’s not a man and will never be a man. So I ask, what do you want her to do? Stop existing?

Read the two expressions in bold and be courageous enough to pick a side.

What he meant was, we are talking about boxing and the advantage of having the male chromosome and not her personal life

Omoawoke:
I’m not off topic bro!

Maybe you should go and live in her shoes and know where it is pinching her. It is easy to say but when you experience it yourself, you will know the pains people like her went through all their lives. They lose self confidence and morale to carry on with life.

Okay! But if there are errors during cell division, isn't that a disorder? What are the differences in the events of cell division between a person with mosaicism and a person without it?

If there were 100 entities in the same classification, naturally designed to have the same processes, but then 1 or 2 experience something different from their natural orientation, what would you call that?

Errors during cell division don't necessarily mean disorder. Mosaicism is let's say a variation, not a deviation from the norm.

Now, pay attention. In normal cell division, genetic material is replicated and distributed evenly. In mosaicism, a random error occurs, resulting in a mixture of cells with different genetic makeup. It's like a slight detour from the usual roadmap, not a complete derailment!

As for your analogy, if 100 entities follow the same process, but 1 or 2 take a different path, I'd call that natural variation, not a disorder. It's like 100 birds flying in formation, but 1 or 2 taking a slight detour due to wind currents. Still flying, still birds, just a minor deviation! Correct?

Stop equating difference with disorder!
Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by AbahJFK: 7:57pm On Aug 02, 2024
If she has XY chromosome,but came out with female physical characteristics, it means she was meant to be a man but during pregnancy something happened and the xy chromosome couldn't express itself fully leading to the development of female phenotype. Maybe she had androgen insensitivity or she had both Xy and Xx chromosome. In androgen insensitivity, the reproductive organs fail to develop into a male type and instead develop into a female type because the gonads were insensitive or refuse to obey the command of the androgens(testosterone). But that doesn't mean her other organs like the muscles, heart and lungs are also insensitive. Therefore she still has some advantage over normal females, although she might not be as strong as men.


I see sex/gender as being binary. All these LGBT stuff are just man-made. Most of them don't have any chromosomal aberrations.

Genetic sex is either XX or XY
XX= FEMALE
XY= MALE
there could be mistakes/abnormalities during fertilization leading to two sperms fertilizing an egg,or empty sperm fertilizing an egg, etc leading to variations different from the norm eg XXY Bleep XO etc and these may led to varying degrees of physical expressions

XY chromosome normally should lead to a manly appearance,but during development accidents can happen and the dude may come out differently like the Algerian boxer.
This means chromosomes determine phenotype, but accidents can prevent full expression.
Lastly we have brain sex development. A foetus with XX chromosome produces more oestrogens,= development of female characteristics and also the brain is conditioned to see that person as females
Just like the reproductive organs can fail to recognize the hormones, the brain can also fail to recognize during development. This may lead to situations where a person becomes confused with his phenotype. Brain sex development is more confusing and complex.

The explanation of her condition is understood, but that doesn't make it fair though. Testosterone is the key hormone that makes men who they are. A 'woman' having elevated levels of this hormone means she will have levels of muscle mass and stamina not typically associated with other women.

It is therefore not fair that she participates in women's sport.
Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by Jeboy(m): 8:07pm On Aug 02, 2024
I don't know why we are arguing.

The sports was created in binary like 0 and 1.

Like say 0 for women and 1 for men.

Now in the spirit of fairness, all athletes are classified under one of the above buckets.

The sports didn't envisage where one may be 0 (a woman) but have some traits of 1 (a man) because when this happens and the athlete is classified as a female (0), it becomes unfair to other athletes who are normal female (0).

It's a complex case where we cannot say she is 100% female (0) neither can we say she is 100% male (1).

The issue now is if even if you create a transgender group let's say group 1.5 , there will still be issues because some Trans will be more males than females or more females than males.

I think people with anormally for fairness sake (which is the most important here) should be exempted from physical sports.

Sadly it could be an unfair decision to them too (that is like discriminating their abnormally nature) but it is what it is.

So what's the essence of your write up now, right as a graduate in science I know she is an intersex, which can be proven but being a transgender is a feeling which can be caused by various things...

But for your information intersex is even worse off, an intersex woman shouldn't compete with outright woman, transgender is even better because you may not possess a male/opposite sex features but you feel you don't belong to the gender you are given, so it's more about feeling but intersex is having features of both genders and that's not acceptable.

Caster Semanya of South Africa 🇿🇦 was also prevented soo....

Then there should be competitions set aside for them, just as there are Paralympics and other sports competitions for physically challenged athletes.

Look, putting our differences aside for a moment, I'm just trying to tackle this issue head-on. Some people are making a right fuss, saying she's not a woman or something, simply because she's got a masculine appearance, according to them, or had the audacity to punch her opponent hard in a fight. Are you one of these people? Lol
It's not about mere having male attributes, she has male genetics 🧬, that's the source and it's permanent not that one lady with mere male attributes will one day lose form because of social habits or lifestyle, but in this case, there is male genes in her and competing with outright female is an undue advantage.

Didn't they prevent Caster Semanya of South Africa 🇿🇦?

DevilsEqual:
How can she be intersex when she doesnt have any male reproductive organ

She just has a hugh testosterone level
It's not only male reproductive organ/that of the opposite sex that can render someone an intersex , chromosomes, and other genetic make up of the other gender that result in expression of characteristics of other gender are also what makes someone an intersex.
