Delighted to welcome my old friend @NikkiHaley, and glad to hear that she plans to share the story of Taiwan’s resilience & the importance of the 🇹🇼🇺🇸partnership with the American people.
Today, we brought home Ban Ban 斑斑, our new First Puppy, lively & lovable as any puppy despite having lost a leg. This International Homeless Animals’ Day, join me in embracing #AdoptDontShop—together, we can make a difference for #Taiwan’s animals & environment.
Just saw something that’s quite huge, in China’s TikTok, ex-boxer Liu Chang claims:
#LinYuTing is woman, and they’d been training together at young age and Lin has periods. “We lived together and I promise her punches don’t hurt, instead they’re quite soft”.
That changes things.
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.
Congratulations, Lin Yu-Ting won the Gold Medal!
Lin was still training and improving her skill 3 years ago, so she couldn’t enter quarterfinals in Tokyo Olympics. If she was a “male” at that time, she should won all the female boxers already, then why not?
Because she is a true woman, you sore losers.

攻擊林郁婷的部分大可以說根本不止於性別歧視,已經是種族歧視了。
The rumor of Taiwanese FEMALE boxer “Lin Yu-Ting” is not only about the sexual discrimination. It’s totally being RACIST.

As #TeamTaiwan’s Lin Yu-ting 林郁婷 prepares to fight for gold in women’s boxing at #Paris2024, she carries the strength of a nation. She has faced adversity & senseless attacks from beyond the ring with incredible grace & unwavering courage. We're cheering her on to the finish!
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
