        Why then the amount of hype about this shit?, I mean if it’s the way you say I truly don’t give a flying fuck about this mediatic show.

      I’ve not checked, I believe you’re asking about the Olympic boxer?

      My best understanding is she’s intersex with maybe a chromosome disorder

        No, she isn’t. She’s just a woman. No one ever tested her chromosomes.

        Humans never stop surprising me. Do you believe it is fair to let her compete with “normal” women?

        My point is: if she have testicles or her body produce testosterone as a male, does it’s ok to let her compete with women with ovaries?

          Do you believe it is fair to let her compete with “normal” women?

          Yes. Michel Phelps is also generally gifted should he be penalized? She meets the criteria for Olympic boxing. Any other statement is revision. I’ve read she has ten losses to other woman. Check how many Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson have lost. Sucks for the Italian women.

          if she have testicles or her body produce testosterone as a male, does…

          She doesn’t, so that is not a relevant hypothetical. What if the government is stealing the dog shit from my lawn for research?
