Yes, but the guidlines are that the gender is based on what's on a passport. In this case that isn't enough and aren't enough for those that have DSD.Yeah I get this isn’t a trans issue, just that a lot of what’s been posted in relation to this is very transphobic. Sort of highlights the stupidity and ignorance of a lot of folks.
It’s a fair question and not one I can really answer. The IOC said something along the lines of “the PBU (Paris 2024 Boxing Unit) testing and guidelines are consistent with previous Olympics”. Full statement is at https://olympics.com/ioc/news/joint-paris-2024-boxing-unit-ioc-statement.
Like I say, it’s not an area that I have any real knowledge or expertise in. I just find some of the reaction more reflective of people’s prejudice rather than insightful analysis of what’s actually gone on.
I seen stats on the difference in punching power between men and women. At that weight the difference would be the same difference as between a 60kg fighter and a 90kg fighter. The safety of the boxers should be the paramount concern here.
