All boxers, including Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who won Olympic gold last summer amid scrutiny over a disputed failed gender eligibility test conducted by a different body, will be unable to compete without a test which reveals their biological sex.
Horseshit headline. There isn’t a genetic test that “reveals biological sex” because biological sex is not strictly genetic. That’s why they stopped doing genetic tests in the 1980s.
The headline should read “Competitors will participate in performative pseudoscience to appease bigots.”
Will the men also be subjected to gender testing?
It might be fun to be the doctor giving the confirmation. Like, “congratulations person, you have met the minimum requirements to be recognized as a male competitor in the sport competition.”
The men would like it too much.
By that definition all trans-men would be eligible to compete in the women’s competition and would result in a man beating up a woman… the very same fucking thing that this is about.
So when do the men get their genitals inspected?
In fairness, no one cares if a women wants to compete against the men generally. But yeah. Still dumb.
Oh and the guys would probably be all for it. They be bragging the whole time no matter what they’re packing.
You can be pendantic if you like, but it adds nothing to the discussion. That was litterally last century.

Like guys who drive big trucks… Guys who like to fight are likely compensating for something. I don’t think they want people looking 🤣
One common feature of top athletes is the belief that they are the best in every way. When it comes to boxing, they say most never do as well after the first time they get KOed because thier illusion of being the best is shattered.
Sky News is trash. Surely a better publication has covered this story.
