Taiwanese #women are tough and resilient. Looking forward to boxer Lin Yu-ting win another medal tonight. It will be the third women’s boxing medal for Taiwan in the #Paris2024Olympics. You go, girl! 💪❤️
Sharron, I respect your decorated career as an athlete and I agree with you that no male should be included in female sports. But Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting was born female and has passed numerous gender tests, including the testosterone test for Olympic eligibility. The IBA's unfounded accusation was refuted by the IOC. There is no evidence she has XY chromosomes. Yu-Ting should be celebrated as a female athlete as well.
@fairplaywomen If you really gotta slander someone at least spell her name right. Lin Yu-Ting is a biological female and has taken various gender tests in her years of professional boxing career. She is completely eligible to compete in the finals.
Senator, please do your due diligence instead of spreading misinformation. Yu-Ting was born female and has passed several gender tests in her years of professional boxing career, including the decisive testosterone test that made her eligible for the Olympic. There is no evidence that she has XY chromosomes, it is a baseless accusation made by the IBA and the test was deemed illegitimate by the IOC. Despite the unjust and baseless accusations questioning her gender eligibility, she has risen above the slander with grace and strength.
@DalgetySusan@BBC It’s not about saving women; it’s about saving your common sense. Please prove you’re not an alien because you clearly don’t think like a human.
Told you she’d rock the ring.
To those still questioning our boxer: stop falling for fake news, don’t be a racist, don’t be a bully, and don’t post comments online if you can’t back them up with evidence.
Basic biology starts with knowing you’ve got a brain in your head—so remember to use it.
Because of IBA’s deliberate misleading of public opinion, two female athletes of color, Lin Yu-Ting and Imane Khelif, suffered severe gender discrimination and cyberbullying.
The corrupt organization, IBA, did not provide any evidence to support the accusations against the two female athletes.
It is deeply regrettable that female athletes of color are being used as tools in the IBA’s political struggle. This is a clear case of sexism and racial discrimination.
Lin Yu-Ting is not only fighting for the championship but also fighting against sexism and racial discrimination. The truth is that Asian women can be powerful👊

Let's be the strongest support for Taiwan's daughter, Lin Yu-Ting! 🥊

Gender verification in sports ensures fair competition in single-sex events. Methods have evolved from physical exams and chromosome tests to hormone testing. Chromosome tests, which identify XX or XY patterns, proved unreliable due to biological variations and did not consistently correlate with athletic performance, leading to their abandonment by sports organizations.
In contrast, testosterone tests focus on hormone levels, which are directly linked to athletic ability. Testosterone significantly impacts muscle mass, strength, and endurance, providing a more accurate measure of performance potential. Unlike chromosome tests, testosterone levels are quantifiable and can be monitored, offering a practical approach to maintaining competitive balance.
With testosterone levels differing up to 15 times between men and women, it is a crucial indicator for categorizing athletes. Testosterone testing ensures fairness by addressing a key biological factor affecting athletic performance, making it a superior method for maintaining equal competition compared to chromosome testing.

To the haters,
Imagine being born a woman, and one day, an institution claims to use outdated methods and declares you’re a man, without providing any evidence.
Then the whole world starts demanding that you prove you’re a woman.
Even though you carry reports, and even the Olympic Committee vouches for you, the world still demands that you prove you’re a woman. When you present the reports, they tell you the reports lack credibility; when you prove your identity, they accuse you of having surgery.
What you’re doing now, and what you may do in the future, is exactly this.
As Taiwanese, we won’t turn a blind eye to this kind of bullying.
Love. I hope this is the image remembered and not the hate. Lin Yu-Ting being comforted by other medalists after she won gold and made history. Everyone knows what she has had to go through these past few days and how hard she fought for her country, her mom, and herself.
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 secured Team Taiwan's first-ever final berth in boxing at the Olympic Games despite unfounded accusations over her gender eligibility. Whatever the outcome in the finals to be held today, Yu-Ting should be celebrated for her dedication as a professional athlete who had to fight battles both inside and outside of the ring. #IStandWithYuTing

#STOP_Bullying, and stop spreading the #rumors made by the IBA, a corrupt organization.
Facts you should know:
1. The IBA has been suspended by the IOC since 2019 due to serious corruption issues.
(1/10)
The attacks on Lin Yu-ting & Imane Khelif show the deep harm caused by "sex testing" in sports. These policies violate women's privacy and dignity. The IOC's stand reminds us that every woman deserves the right to compete with respect and fairness.

Lin Yu-Ting was born female and has complied with all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit. There is an astounding amount of evidence (her social security number, pictures from her childhood, gender checks from various boxing competitions) that proves Lin Yu-Ting is a biological female. Yet up till now, the IBA has not provided any evidence for their false accusations. Their tests were flawed and illegitimate.
