So Imane Khalif was born a woman, raised as a woman, and competed as a woman. From reading a few articles She may have some biologically abnormal capabilities that results in higher testosterone than typical for a woman. (Intersex or something else… not sure it’s any of my business to know her medical history) Wait…you mean an Olympic athlete may have some genetic capacity higher than average? 🙄It’s also not clear to me she is even considered an elite athlete that will achieve a medal?, suggesting it’s not clear there was any advantage she would possess over a typical woman trying to compete but we can just observe on that one.
I’m not sure how far I want to go with this.
So seems like a lot of people jumped to conclusions.
And I hope the internet has learned a valuable lesson about the complexities of human biology. 🤨
I’m curious what other female athletes would think of punching a competitor so hard they yield, and instead of celebrating the athletic accomplishment the internet goes sideways. Oh I guess she just hits hard, good for her. 👍
I would not be surprised to find many women competing at high levels of athleticism have a distribution of testosterone higher than typical, Either just within normal biology distribution or because something undiagnosed exists.
If that’s how they are born I think they should be able to use it to their advantage.
