We'll just agree to disagree on this one. And, for the record, based on what we know and see I do not believe she should be competing against women.
Another question for you: which bathroom should they use? If you believe them to be a man, but they have only female equipment, where should they go? I doubt we'd want someone with a vagina using bathrooms full of penises. Another reason this isn't simple.
So what? You said I'm making it complicated. It is complicated because God makes people that are non-binary. Literally, doctors don't know what to declare as their sex when they are born. That's the so what
I get the outrage, but, they absolutely need to know both sides of the story.Sad weird loser energy coming from the trans panic crowd, as per usual. Can the mods clean this up and maybe put a restraining order on the little freaks from posting twitter “bulge” photos please?
"All this controversy makes me sad," Carini told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I'm sorry for my opponent, too. If the IOC said she can fight, I respect that decision."
Carini, also 25, said abandoning the fight had been a mature step to take, but she expressed regret at not shaking hands with Khelif afterwards.
"It wasn't something I intended to do," Carini said. "Actually, I want to apologise to her and everyone else. I was angry because my Olympics had gone up in smoke."
She added that if she met Khelif again, she would "embrace her".
"The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport," IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said on Friday.
In one part he did say "expects." Subsequently, he said "require." The problem with this mess is "require" tends bring "force" along with it so it becomes indistinguishable.He didn't say "force" he said "expects." If he meant force, he wouldn't be talking about "disrespect," he'd be talking about rights
Why would the second question not matter? It directly supports this being more complex than you make it out to be.I don’t think your second question matters. I don’t care. I’m glad we agree on the first part though.
Did you look more into the “conception claim” from earlier? Those stories have been misrepresented. No one with xy chromosomes has ovaries not produces eggs. Many produce sperm but it’s not typically viable sperm and obviously lacks the needed parts to deliver sperm. Although some have successfully fertilized eggs through the aid of modern medicine. Further proof of the fact that these individuals are male
Girls with Swyer syndrome have an XY chromosomal makeup (as boys normally do) instead of an XX chromosomal makeup (as girls normally do). Despite having the XY chromosomal makeup, girls with Swyer syndrome look female and have functional female genitalia and structures including a vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes.

I did research further and was wrong on the conception piece. An intersex person may possess a uterus and ovaries while having a Y chromosome, but they are sterile. So they can carry a pregnancy to term, but cannot naturally conceive.
This group makes up .00018% of the population.I don’t think your second question matters. I don’t care. I’m glad we agree on the first part though.

Because I don’t care where you potty. I’m not sure what you’re getting to with that angle.
And no. They do not possess ovaries. They may have a uterus, but not ovaries. I’d be curious to know where you’re getting the ovaries claim from.
They can carry a pregnancy and some (rare) can even father (provide the sperm) a child. But none can provide the egg.
Whether or not you care, it’s a decision that has to be made. “I don’t care” seems like a copout because you don’t want to say someone with a vagina should be using the men’s bathroom
I prefer you to refer to me as "King" from hence forward!So let me clarify further.
In no way do I believe anyone should be compelled to use another’s chosen name or pronouns.
I don’t use Lia’s chosen name because I’m forced to. I use her name/pronouns because I choose to. Because I believe it to be the decent thing to do.
But I support your right to be as ugly as you wish. No one should have their speech compelled.

With all due respect this situation isn't even all that similar to the Lia Thomas situation. I think Gaines was absolutely correct to stand up for women athletes in respect to trans men invading their athletic spaces.At least she’s not trying to pull a Riley Gaines

- Swyer syndrome
People with Swyer syndrome have XY chromosomes in each cell, but female reproductive structures, including a uterus and fallopian tubes. However, their gonads (ovaries or testes) are not functional, so they are infertile. However, they can become pregnant through the implantation of donated eggs.- True gonadal intersex
People with true gonadal intersex have both ovaries and testicles, and can have XX, XY, or both chromosomes. Some intersex people with both ovarian and testicular tissue may be able to get pregnant on their own if they also have a uterus. However, if they have testes, they may release more testosterone than is optimal for conception and pregnancy. In this case, hormone therapy or removal of testicular tissue may help.
