Perhaps the advantage pushed them from shit to average, or average to great. Without knowing the starting point we can't know what ranking or success the advantage has given. We can compare it with trans women, in swimming for example. But these cases are a lot more complex than a trans women competing in women's sport.
Again, I don't know about this persons history and only have a basic grasp of the science so I am not espousing an opinion on this case. But in general, the argument that "well, she lost to other women so..." doesn't work - she may have lost to loads more women without the advantage (if she has one).
Don't know if that makes sense or not, it did in my head.
(Continued) DSD condition then she is genetically male. That she hasn’t made the most of her advantages are irrelevant, the next person might.
Again, in the case of the boxers this is hypothetical but the discussion clearly needs to be had and it’s both not ideal to have during the Olympics but it probably took the Olympics to raise the profile enough for people to talk about it.
She may be genetically female, as far as I know they haven’t a sex test just noted levels of elevated testosterone.
However if she has the 5aR2D
....she clearly shouldn't be competing against other women but that's down to the Olympic rules, not her being "a man".
Its interesting that the same people who use the "Can a man have a vagina" argument are also claiming this woman, who has one, is a man.
