NY Post readers discuss Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif’s defeat of Italian boxer Angela Carini amid a gender controversy.
Imane Khelif of Team Algeria celebrates victory against Anna Luca Hamori of Team Hungary after the Women 's 66kg Quarter-final round match on day eight of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at North Paris Arena.The Issue: Algeria n Boxer Imane Khelif’s defeat of Italian boxer Angela Carini amid a gender controversy.
Khelif, who has lived her life identifying as a female, was disqualified from the World Championships by the International Boxing Association in 2022 and 2023 for failing gender tests. However, the IBA has not disclosed what those tests were, nor the conditions under which they were given. Furthermore, the International Olympic Committee does not recognize those tests.
Not to mention, many women have elevated levels of testosterone, and plenty of conditions in which biological females are born with XY chromosomes. Khelif, if anything, is likely an intersex woman.The competition will likely, over time, continue to include individuals who might have a genetic or hormonal advantage over women. I believe participants with any possible hormonal advantage should be banned from participating as females.
It is a travesty for athletes who have trained most of their lives to compete at the Olympics, only to face an unfair competitor who has been allowed to compete to avoid hurting their feelings.The Paris Olympics will be remembered for two highlights: The drag queens at the opening ceremony, and the presumably intersex boxer who, as the Olympic Committee also asserts, is identified as a female.
