Only dropping a comment and not a question. Carini, the Italian Olympian who stopped the match for her own protection, she made the call that the Olympic Committee should have made for combat sports. Fairness aside, this was an issue of safety, even though they had helmets and a ref, this match was stacked and wildly unsafe for her
Imane was born with only female reproductive organs. She has the XY chromosome and naturally high testosterone. and subsequent masculine development. I believe this made the match unfair and should never been allowed. But what does Imane do? How does she compete? I don't know if she could be competitive with male boxers though she has likely been doing that until the woke olympics came along. Is that her arena, then?
I've heard other evolutionary biologists say gametes determined biological sex not chromosomes. Do you agree with these other biologists?
If you agree, are there any very rare DSD's or more specifically 46, XY DSD phenotypes where a person has external female genitalia, internal female organs, ovulates and is thus biologically "female"? Additionally, say SRY gene mutations leads to a phenotype with external female genitalia, dysgenetic testes, and no gametes, would such a sterile phenotype be considered asexual rather than male or female?
If such extremely rare 46, XY DSD phenotypes exist, would you say that XY and XX correspond respectfully to small mobile sperm with XY and stationary eggs XX almost all 99.9998% of the time but not absolutely 100% of the time?
What is the rate for various DSD's? For XXY is it 1 in 15,000? For X0 is it 1 in 40,000? For 46, XX DSD or 46, XY DSD is it 1 in 250,000? Or is there a greater or lower frequency?
If a karyotype genetic test reveals XY chromosomes, will that same test reveal any sort of 46, XY DSD? If not, what additional tests have to be done to determine what sort of 46, XY DSD phenotype the person being tested has?
Generally how should DSD athletes be handled in sports? Some sports seem to have specific rules in regards to maximum allowable T levels. Does that make sense? Not all 46, XY DSD phenotypes confer hormonal advantages, so should DSD athletes be dealt with on a case by case base and possibly differently for different sports especially contatc sports like boxing?
