The rights obsession with people’s genitals reaches a new low
there’s been a lot of talk about xy chromosomes and i was trying to comment on that; but, you’re right, and i don’t know why that’s something being claimed everywhere.
the source is “the IBA president’s ass”, the actual facts presented at the IBA:
https://www.iba.sport/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/BoD-meeting-minutes_New-Delhi_FV-approved.pdf
states that two athletes failed unidentified tests in 2022 after winning and the board let it go, then in 2023 after the two athletes were winning, new 7-day tests were performed during the tourney and also failed, but the timing allowed them to be DQed and their opponents reinstated.
The IBA president claimed on July 31st 2024, that the tests “proved” the Chinese and Algerian athletes had XY chromosomes. The actual press release same day doesn’t specify genetic testing.
It does not track that DNA tests were performed in 2022 showing XY and the athletes were not kicked out of IBA, but allowed to compete the follow year and be retested for chromosomes in 2023 just in case because for some reason the DNA could have changed.
Whatever the mystery test were performed were clearly not DNA tests or something would have been said and done earlier.
A complete lie by the IBA president, invented mere days ago, not corroborated by even a single other person or document.
To add to this discussion. I’ve seen sources say that she has XY and others says that it’s not determined. My vibe is that it’s not determined, but it still seems uncertain.
