Incorrect. She is a man who has Swyer Syndrome. It's unfortunate for her but she is what, 1 in a million?
Sometimes, life is not fair.. however i feel the bare minimum level of fairness must start and end with a clear line... xx is a woman, xy is a man..
The rest is a genetic gift from god.
The issue is (regardless) of percentages, why must global sport, cater to the 1 in 80,000 when there are 79,999 normal other females born with xx chromosmes?It is much much lower than that. Swyer Syndrome alone is 1 in 80000 to 1 in 20000. You can be a be a XY woman without Swyer Syndrome and live your entire life without knowing about that chromosome anomaly. So yeah, nowhere near 1 in a million.

The problem becomes, the goal posts are moved... and they'll keep moving if we continue to cater to the 1 in 80k abnormality that does not fit into the system..
The Algerian boxer is not some amazing woman's boxer - but rather a woman who has all the advantages of a man from birth..
Like i said, there has to be a line drawn..
