Boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan clinched her first Olympic medal Sunday in front of a crowd that chanted her name at the Paris Games, one day after fellow boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria secured one as well following days of online abuse and intense scrutiny about their participation.
Lin defeated Svetlana Kamenova Staneva of Bulgaria in a women’s 57-kilogram quarterfinal, earning her second straight unanimous decision and advancing to the division’s semifinal round to ensure she will win at least a bronze medal.
Lin and Khelif have been at the center of a clash over gender identity and regulations in sports, as critics have brought up their disqualification from the world championships last year after the banned International Boxing Association claimed they failed unspecified eligibility tests for women’s competition.
Athletes should have their DNA made public information so you can gamble? This is really your position? That a person’s DNA should be public so you can profit off of it? Would you be cool with a boss doing this to you or your family?
And if phenotype is what’s important, your female - male pheno is already competing as a male FYI.
It’s just one reason why it should be made public. You think your gambling on 2 equal woman but in fact one has genetic or chromosome mutations making them develope as male. What are you even arguing about here? They are public people who make their money off the public. What’s the problem if their chromosome test and genetic test is made public?
Aside from that they should be tested for the integrity of the sport.
Again.
No one is entitled to punch someone into a coma in front of a camera for money.
So yeah test them and let the fans know what’s what. And disqualify them if they are men trying to beat on woman for money. Just like what happened to both of them in 2023. It’s pathetic and sick tbh but whatever something about “your female - male pheno is already competing as a male FYI.” Whatever the fuck that means lmfao.
