#Gravitas | Italian boxer Angela Carini's decision to pull out of the boxing match with Algerian opponent Imane Khelif mid-fight has sparked a big debate on gender eligibility at the Olympics. Khelif, whose participation in the Games was permitted by the IOC and had divided boxers, was able to defeat Carini within the first 46 seconds, prompting severe criticism and fake news to circulate around Khelif's gender. She had failed a gender eligibility test at the World Championships, fuelling the criticism against her. While some called her "trans" and "biological male", others asked whether the rules of eligibility should change. If sports is about fair play, then who should be blamed for the injustice that both women faced at the Olympics.

    Wait where is the WION video that referred to the Algerian boxer as a biological male?
  • @majorlazor5058
    This website called the Algerian boxer a biological male. I noticed that video has been removed 😂😂😂😂😂
  • This is not an issue about Algeria or Italy, it is an issue about the competence and ethics and incompetence and unprofessionalism of IOC Olympics, itself.
  • @speaker150
    These are not females...its some trans or male
  • @stellarinz1701
    Khelif should stay in rhe ring and stayed in the tournament BUT not women instead Men as category same weight!
  • Why can these tests not be done before participation ? Change of sex cannot be permitted in changing rooms and sports should be also sub divided like para sports; for unnatural nature of individual sex
  • My understanding is that Khelif is "intersex," which means he/she has a chromosomal anomaly (maybe XXY). Intersex babies are often assigned one sex or the other at birth, so the birth certificate may not be meaningful. At any rate, if some women boxers are allowed to have elevated testosterone levels because it is "natural." then all women competitors should be allowed to raise their testosterone levels, if they wish.
  • @runwinter..0202
    if so then such XXY chromosomes individuals should be in another category not with XX or XY
  • Khelif has XY - male - chromosomes. He has testes and all the testosterones and other characteristics of a male. Except his gentilities is not typical looking for males, but that doesn't make him a female.

    How’s that diversity, equity, and inclusion working out?
  • @agonistes06
    so does the male boxer know he was smuggling testicles, or did expect to 'pass' gender test?
  • but women claim they are not less than men...what happened now😂
  • @toshaobrien4280
    Where does the system leave people who are born with one set of genitalia and different set of chromosomes? This is not even tested for at birth. Many times people find out when they cannot conceive. She would not be accepted as a male and is not being accepted and is being rejected as a female. I do not know if what I am about to say has anything to do with the Olympics, but it is an issue. With 1:100 having one of the types of intersex conditions, I would call for all of these people to have proper medical care and not put them in a male or female category. People are put in categories and not tested because “it could be devastating. However, the truth of matter is there is a third gender category. Males and females have unique sets of medical challenges while intersex people are ignored and put in categories according to either what the parents decide or in some cases what the doctors decide without saying anything.
