In which event, a person with XY who may basically be a female superhuman should not be able to pummel a genetically and physically inferior female to death in the spirit of sport. If that olympic fight kept going, the female fighter could have been in very rare danger. There is a reason the Algerian was not allowed to compete in other boxing associatios...SAFETY OF FEMALE COMPETITORS.hoopla said:
The pluming a person was born with? Pretty strait forward, in most cases.
A person's chromosomes? XX males are women and XY females are men?
Something else?
No too rare though.
It is estimated that 1.7% of the world population is intersex. That is a little over 138,000,000 people. A country with that size population would be in the top 10 most populous nations in the world.
Quoting this so you can't walk it back.
The actual dtatistic for xxy and xyy is slightly less than 1 in 1,000 for each.
That equates to .17%
Not 1.7%
That is a factor of 10 smaller than you claim.
And xxy and xyy people have a y chromosome which means their testosterone production is higher than females.
speaking as a biological sciences major and someone who works in healthcare and studied human development
Female is what the human body developes into from puberty onward in the absence of testosterone.
Which means that female is the genetic default for sexual development.
Which means that in order to compete in women's sports you would need to NOT have altered development- having testosterone altered development caused by the presence of a Y chromosome makes you male.
By extension if you have a Y chromosome you therefore would have developed different from females.
And therefore are not female.
Now we can quibble about how they have lower testosterone production than XY males....fair enough.
But not being as male as the normal XY individuals does not default you to female.
