Bellatrix Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 On 01/08/2024 at 15:18, despritdan said: You're right, this isn't a case of a biological man claiming to be a woman but someone born with female genitalia but with physical characteristics more akin to males giving her an advantage over normal females. It must be a very rare condition and makes it difficult for the authorities. The boxers are likely born biological males (46 XY) with a DSD, very likely 5-ARD. We don't know the details because the boxers in question did not appeal against the previous IBA rulings banning them from competition. The enzyme 5-alpha reductase catalyses the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a hormone needed for the development of male external genitalia, so baby boys with the condition are often assigned female at birth despite having internal testes. They go through male puberty which, important in this context, gives them the advantages of strength, power, speed, bone density, size etc that are apparent in the male boxers competing against women. It isn't a 'trans' issue. It isn't a socialisation and identity issue. It's a biology issue. It's a sports science issue. It's a fairness, equality and safety issue. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
