Stand With #LinYuTing, a Female Boxer
#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)
There is no question of boxer Lin Yu-ting's eligibility to compete in Paris as she has complete support from the IOC, the head of Taiwan's Sports Administration says.

Here’s a video that explains Lin Yu-Ting's situation in detail, including how gender testing works and why the Olympic method is more accurate. The IBA has been a joke from the start—they can't even provide any evidence!
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 Chromosome tests are just simply outdated.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.
What’s wrong with wanting the medal and prize money that she rightfully earned? 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 that Lin Yu-Ting is a biological female.
