Challenging Taiwanese female Olympic boxer Lin Yu-ting's eligibility is not only a challenge to the International Olympic Committee but also a challenge to Taiwan as a whole.
Lin Yu-ting is a globally recognized top female boxer with 16 years of experience and many international championships. This is her second Olympics, where she is fully qualified to compete for a gold medal in the sport she loves.
Lin first started boxing as a child to protect her mother from domestic abuse. When she began, there were very few female boxers in Taiwan, so she trained with male boxers.
Inspired by her, more talented women in Taiwan have now joined boxing.
She was awarded Taiwan’s Best Female Athlete.
We feel personally attacked when she is humiliated, and the President of Taiwan has announced that the government will support her in taking legal action against the IBA for damaging her reputation.
Today, Lin will return to the ring once again. Let's cheer her on.
林郁婷在18歲時為台灣贏得了第一枚世界青年拳擊錦標賽金牌,她獲世錦賽和亞運雙冠,是世界公認的頂尖女性拳擊手。這是她第二次參加奧運,她將為她熱愛的拳擊運動站上金牌舞台。
林郁婷已被國際奧委會完全認可,符合2024年奧運會的參賽資格,她遵守了所有規定。對她資格的挑戰不僅是對國際奧委會誠信的質疑,也是在挑戰台灣的國家誠信。
為什麼質疑林郁婷的資格如此荒謬並令台灣人心碎?
台灣總統已經宣布將對國際拳擊協會(IBA)因損害林郁婷的名譽採取法律行動。林郁婷是我們國家長期培養的選手,曾獲得台灣全國最佳女性運動員獎項,並且現在在大學任教。
台灣感謝她為運動性別平權的貢獻,尤其是她從小為了保護母親免受家庭暴力而學習拳擊。
當林郁婷加入校隊時,台灣的女性拳擊手寥寥無幾,她只能和男性拳擊手一起訓練。由於她的努力,現在有更多優秀的台灣女性成為拳擊手。
林郁婷的故事啟發了許多年輕女性。全台灣人民看著她成長,她就像每個家庭的女兒,她委屈我們跟著流淚,她奪���利我們感到榮耀。
今天,林郁婷將再次為榮譽而戰,全台灣以她為榮。
邀請你一起為這位堅強而正直的運動員林郁婷喝采!

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 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
We strongly condemn @RussiaUN’s @Dpol_un for the accusations against Olympic athletes, citing false claims from the discredited IBA. #Taiwan🇹🇼 female boxer Lin Yu-Ting’s IOC-confirmed eligibility for #Paris2024 is indisputable. #UN Security Council should have no place for lies!
From @TheAthletic: Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan clinched a spot in the gold medal fight amid the gender controversy that has defined this Olympic boxing tournament. Her opponent Esra Yildiz Kahraman of Turkey made an X symbol as she left the ring. https://t.co/FP4914aKZl
This incel Chinese nationalist assaulted a Taiwanese woman at the Olympics and destroyed her Taiwan sign
He of course faced no consequences for blatantly assaulting someone in public
Imagine how it feels to win Olympic gold against opponents from the authoritarian country that wants to take your sovereignty - and when you receive your medal, your country's name, flag, and anthem are completely erased.
How much longer will this indignity be forced on Taiwan?
In #ParisOlympics2024 badminton men's doubles, 'Go Taiwan!' sign was snatched and destroyed by Chinese audience.
The lady did nothing wrong supporting #Taiwan , and brainwashed Chinese again make himself look like a clown 🤡
Taiwan vs China: An #OlympicGames security guard aggressively confiscates a towel with the word “Taiwan” on it. Olympic rules forbid the showing of flags from non-participating countries (thus no ROC flags) but it looks like the #French, are trying to ban the word #Taiwan also
It's a shame that the #OlympicValues of respect & friendship at #Paris2024 were disregarded. Everyone should be free to cheer for their compatriots & favorite athletes with joy & excitement. Go #TeamTaiwan🇹🇼! You have the entire nation backing you up!
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.
It is very sad that @elonmusk stated Lin Yu-Ting has XY chromosome, according to IBA, but they provide “ZERO EVIDENCE”.
Common logic:
If they DO checked chromosomes, IBA could just provide their chromosome test result, and the debate would end already.
Instead, they said they used some “recognized but confidential” method.
Not testosterone, not chromosomes, so what is that?
classification hat?
As a M.D., my opinion is: “there is no such test.”
If they do have, IBA, Elon and JK Rowling should publish this method together, they could win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine together.
