World Boxing will introduce mandatory sex testing, to determine the eligibility of male and female athletes that want to take part in its competitions. The introduction of mandatory testing will be part of a new policy on “Sex, Age and Weight” to ensure the safety of all participants and deliver a competitive level playing field […]

In light of plans to introduce this policy and the particular circumstances surrounding some boxers that competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing.

        So, hormones don’t exist?
        Intersex people don’t exist?
        Trans people don’t exist?
        And what, we’re all either 100% male or 100% female and there is never a grey area in biology?

        Don’t make the conscious decision to remain ignorant, you’re keeping yourself back.

                Before we get started - really quick, can you summarize your experience in biology? Did you graduate high school? Do you have some form of education/undergraduate degree in a field adjacent to biology? I’d appreciate the clarification - I can explain this at multiple levels and would be happy to tailor make an explanation for whatever level of academic achievement you have accomplished.
