    You’re taking the IBA at their word despite their problems. Also you repeating the

    cw: queerphobic

    XY = women

    line is a bit problematic.

    The only people that can positively confirm or deny this are Khelif and Lin and don’t seem like they will

    Insisting that women need to prove their gender is gonna lead to a lot of issues down the line.

    At least get the point of the meme, and hold your opinion until we all know more.

    • That is a quote from the IBA and that is their criteria. The only opinion I’ve stated here was that I don’t think the IBA disqualified her for beating a Russian athlete because of the 2022 test, and that Lin didn’t beat the Russian athlete and was also disqualified. I’m not defending the IBA here, they are one of 5 (Khelif, Lin, Sistem Tip, PathLabs) entities that have relevant information on this topic and the only one that is publishing specific statements here. Everything other than it is quotes from the IBA press release.
