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.

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 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?

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..

Again... it's lower than 1 in 80k, since that figure only account for Swyer Syndrome (which is a disorder). It doesn't account for the number of women born with xy chromosome who have no health issues.

Men are telling women how they should look like. Just like men in the US controlling women’s body.

Get out of our business.
