不要過度簡化複雜的問題。性別可以用多種方式來判定,從生理外貌、染色體再到睾酮水準。
1️⃣ 生理外貌
根據身分證字號,林郁婷在 28 年前就被台灣政府判定為女性,這也表明外在因素表明她是生理女性。
2️⃣ 染色體檢測
林郁婷「並沒有」因為染色體檢測被判定為男性,唯一的爭議源自於國際拳擊協會(IBA)模糊且未公開的證據。但值得一提的是,IBA 與與台灣不友好的關係可能是原因之一,而且 IBA 也沒有提到染色體檢測。
3️⃣ 睾酮水準
林郁婷「有」通過了睾酮檢測並被判定為女性,這項檢測是國際奧委會(IOC)及多個運動員協會認可的,包括國際田徑總會。
上面三點都是事實。
那唯一的爭議是什麼呢?就是她的染色體到底是 XX 還是 XY?
首先,沒有證據表明她是 XY。即使她是 XY,XY 也可以被視為是女性,這就是為什麼國際協會如國際田聯(IAAF)和國際奧委會現在採用睾酮來判定的原因,染色體檢測單純就是過時了。
但這裡必需再次強調,林「並沒有」被檢測為 XY。
然後再強調一次,不要過度簡化複雜的問題,林郁婷的爭議可能是個單純的科學問題,也有可能是個複雜的政治問題。

Don't oversimplify the complicated questions. Male or female can be determined by various factors, from physical appearance, chromosomes to testosterone levels.
1. Physical Appearance
Lin *WAS* recognized as female by the Taiwanese government 28 years ago, as indicated by her social security number, which also suggests that her physical appearance aligns with being female.
2. Chromosomes Test
Lin was *NOT* identified as male by a chromosome test. The controversy comes from the IBA's sketchy and undisclosed evidence. It's worth mentioning that the IBA's unfriendly attitude against Taiwan may be the reason why they’re against Lin. And IBA did not mention anything about chromosomes test.
3. Testosterone Test
Lin *WAS* identified as female by a testosterone test, which is approved by the IOC and various athlete associations including IAAF (World Athletics)
These are the facts, as stated above.
So what is the only controversy? Is her chromosome XX or XY?
First, there is *NO* evidence shows that Lin is an XY. Even if she were, XY can still indicate female that’s why international associations like World Athletics (IAAF) and the IOC now use testosterone regulations. Chromosome tests are just simply outdated.
At this point I must emphasize again that Lin was NOT identified as male by a chromosome test.
And again, don’t oversimplify complicated questions, Lin’s situation can either be a simple science question or just the political one. We don’t know, so we discuss with facts.
Lin Yu-Ting has won the Olympic gold medal against all odds! Her triumph in the ring is not just a testament to her unparalleled skill and dedication as a boxer, but also a powerful vindication of her character. Despite the unjust and baseless accusations questioning her gender eligibility, she has risen above the slander with grace and strength. We celebrate not just her win, but the unwavering spirit she embodies. #BoxingQueenLinYuTing
Lin Yu-Ting is female and has been female since childhood.
What is terrifying is that J.K. Rowling, wielding her influence and always using a frantic approach, completely disregards the possibility of making mistakes and relentlessly attacks our athlete.
Yesterday, the incident involved an Italian athlete who felt that the punches from Algerian athlete Khalif were too heavy and said she "did not want to compete against a male," so she withdrew. Khalif is one of the athletes who had disputed biochemical data in their previous IBA tests with Lin Yu-Ting.
However, in the current International Olympic Committee (IOC) examination, both athletes were found to be completely normal. The IBA, which had previously disqualified them, has been suspended due to issues with unfair judging and corruption. The IBA was stripped of the status by the International Olympic Committee in June 2023.
Moreover, the IBA president "claimed" that these two athletes have XY chromosomes, but they "never actually tested chromosomes" and only "tested biochemical data."
So the IBA president was "guessing."
How can someone with XY chromosomes have normal testosterone levels in the Paris Olympics and other events, including the Tokyo Olympics?
Did they somehow remove their testes during blood tests and then put them back in for the competition?
It is natural for athletes to not be allowed to administer additional testosterone, so normal blood tests before the competition are expected. What more do you want to question?
Additionally, testosterone levels in females can naturally increase without medication, including a condition called DSD (Differences in Sex Development). Studies suggest that 7 out of every 1,000 female track athletes have DSD, with higher testosterone levels than typical females. However, medicine has yet to prove that testosterone levels are the absolute key to winning in sports. [1]
Next, let's talk about chromosomes. Did you know that some people's cells have a "45,X/46,XY mosaicism" ? [2]
Furthermore, men can lose Y chromosomes from many cells with age. This phenomenon is considered increasingly common. [3]
While you are defaming athletes who have been female since childhood, some of your cells might be silently undergoing changes you aren't aware of.
Rules for the world's highest-level competitions are not determined by novelists but by professional medical teams and the Olympic Boxing Working Group (PBU).
Our athletes are competing legally and in compliance with regulations. I will continue to support them, and Lin Yu-Ting also needs your efforts to debunk the rumors and full support! Go Yu-Ting!

林郁婷是女性,從小就是女性。
恐怖的是,挾著聲量而且從來都用抓狂式戰法的JK羅琳,完全不在乎自己可能搞錯,拼命在抹黑我們的選手。
昨天的事件是義大利選手覺得阿爾及利亞選手卡利夫的拳頭太重,說自己「不想跟男生比賽」,所以就棄權了,而卡利夫是跟林郁婷上一次在IBA被驗出生化數據有爭議的選手之一。
然而這兩位選手,在這一次的國際奧會IOC檢驗中,都完全正常。唯一一次取消他們資格的IBA,已經因為裁判不公和資金問題被停權,國際奧會不再跟他們合作了。
而且IBA主席「聲稱」這兩位有XY染色體,可是他們「根本沒驗過染色體」,而是「只有驗生化數據」。
所以已經被停權的IBA主席是「用猜的」。
哪裡有XY染色體的人,可以在巴黎奧運,還有之前多次出賽,包含東京奧運等各種賽事,睪固酮都正常?
抽血的時候蛋蛋拿出來,比賽再裝回去?
選手不准額外施打睪固酮,是當然的,所以比賽前抽血都正常了,你還要機歪什麼?
再來,睪固酮濃度在女性,也會有不因藥物自然升高的情況,包括一種情況叫做DSD,研究認為每1,000名女子田徑選手就有7人帶有DSD症狀,睪酮濃度高出一般女性。不過醫學也還無法證明,睪酮濃度就是賽場上致勝的絕對關鍵。[1]
接著談染色體的部分。你們知道一直都有人的細胞是「45,X/46,XY mosaicism」混合的嗎? [2]
而且還有男生會隨著年齡,許多細胞漸漸失去Y染色體的。此現象被認為越來越常見。[3]
你在鍵盤前面詆毀從小就是女生的選手的同時,你的部分細胞可能已經偷偷在變性了,你自己也不曉得。
世界最高殿堂賽事的規則不是由小說家決定,而是專業醫療團隊和奧運拳擊工作小組(PBU)決定的。
我們的選手是合法合規參賽,我會繼續支持他,林郁婷也需要各位的一同闢謠與全力支持!林郁婷加油!

2 facts about Olympic boxer Lin Yu-Ting:
1.The IOC has confirmed that Lin fully complies with 2024 Olympics participation rules.
2.The IBA, which questioned Lin’s eligibility, was suspended in 2019 due to corruption scandals and is not recognized by the IOC or CAS.
#Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting is a #woman#boxer whose biological sex came into question when a Russian sports official alleged on Telegram she was only "pretending" to be a woman without offering proof of test. To debunk those false accusations, here's her story. https://t.co/cUcyj4ascK
For Taiwanese people, “Taiwan” better represents us than “Chinese Taipei”.
Please use Taiwan instead whenever possible. We would greatly appreciate it. 🙏
Yu-Ting Lin, a female at birth, had a misfortunate childhood filled with domestic violence from her father. Hence she decided to take up boxing in middle school in attempt to protect her mom.
She is now an Olympian but faces groundless accusation on her gender. Stop the BS pls.
