Neither was allowed to participate in the world championships for the female side of their sport last year, but two "trans women" boxers were just cleared to compete against real women at the 2024 Olympics in Paris after the International Olympics Committee (IOC) gave them the green light.
Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan are making headlines for qualifying to compete in this year's Olympics despite last year being disqualified from competing in the Women's World Boxing Championships in New Delhi.
A series of DNA tests showed that the two athletes have "XY chromosomes," to quote Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association (IBA). Kremlev said in a statement that his group "uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women."
For daring to tell the truth and violate the "transphobia" creed, the IBA was stripped of being allowed to run Olympic boxing competitions. The IOC has instead decided that it does not matter one's DNA – if you are a male who wants to compete as a "trans," then go for it.
After last year's disqualification, the Algerian Olympic Committee accused the IBA of engaging in a "conspiracy" to stop Khelif from winning a gold medal. As for Khelif's high testosterone levels, the Algerian Olympic Committee blamed "medical reasons."

Men fighting women isn't a fair fight
Mexico's Brianda Tamara had the displeasure of fighting Khelif before the disqualification. Here is what she wrote on X about what it was like:
"When I fought with her [sic] I felt very out of my depth. Her [sic] blows hurt me a lot, I don't think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it's good that they finally realized."
There is a possibility that neither Khelif nor Yu-Ting are biological males after all, at least according to the feminist website Reduxx. It could be that Khelif and Yu-Ting are suffering from "Difference of Sexual Development," or DSD, a medical profile where one's genitalia differs from one's chromosomes.
Former American Olympian Nancy Hogshead, who won three gold medals for swimming at the 1984 Games, would seem to disagree. She tweeted that "gender ideology will get women KILLED."
"Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan are scheduled to compete in women's Olympic boxing – despite being disqualified last year for having XY chromosomes, the male phenotype," Hogshead further wrote.
"Let's remind ourselves that males – however they identify – pack a punch that is 162 per cent more powerful than women – THE biggest performance gap between men and women."
A spokesperson from the IOC responded to the controversy by claiming that everything is as it should be.
"All athletes participating in the boxing tournament comply with the competition's eligibility and entry regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations, in accordance with the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit," the spokesperson said.
Though they would certainly risk their careers by doing so, real female athletes could simply refuse to participate in fighting or competing against biological males who claim to be "trans women." A few have already done just that.
"Apart from the Olympic governing body, everyone else can see that this isn't a level playing field," a commenter wrote. "It's a dangerous decision."
