🧵 How do people not get this?
Advantage is not determined by finish.
Let’s walk through what that means…
(and we’ll ignore the ridiculous use of “cis” for now)
@JuryTrialReport@icons_women It was never a problem for me to compete with boys/men and I'm female. Lots of women do. But to bring male advantage into the female category compromises the integrity of the category.
@JuryTrialReport@icons_women I support their right to compete in their correct sex category (male/open). Let's face it: women's sports is a pizza and it's a small one, I might add.
@TrpPotichu@Scienceofsport For example World Boxing's new policy draws the line at androgenization: If you're xy with no androgenization then you're treated as a female. If you're xy with androgenization, then you're treated as a male. That's pretty fair and safe for the intersex/dsd athletes imo.
@CBCOlympics Sex tests are absolutely needed to bring back fairness for female athletes. The @iocm created a big mess with their passport policy and as we know, any attempts to balance between fairness and inclusion of xy athletes with androgenization have failed in the past.
@l_laiel@JenniferSey World Boxing's new rules allow xx athletes and xy athletes with no androgenization to box under "women's". So if Imane has not experienced male puberty then Imane can box as per their rules.
@DualEngr@Reuters For example World Boxing's new policy is pretty fair imo as it bans xy athletes but only the ones with androgenization.Allowing individuals with androgenization whether trans or dsd individuals compromises the integrity of the female category and violates female athletes' rights.
@ImanesDFront@lexiloo_h@runthinkwrite@AndreaFlorence4 Yes they do if the intersex come with the male advantage. For ex. World Boxing's new policy only excludes legally female xy athletes with androgenization. Pretty fair imo.
