    There is not really a need to. The allegation comes from the IBA which is unrecognized by the Olympics and is a Russian propaganda organization. A Russian boxer lost to her and an official who is now fired for corruption disqualified her. Her birth certificate and passport say female and her testosterone is within the range for women. You can’t just give extra screening to women you don’t find attractive.

      There is not really a need to.

      There is certainly a need to test, but this test (whatever it is) should apply to all women equally and definitively.

        You mean another organization that tested her but never told us specifically what the test was, who administered it, who analyzed it and what the results were?

            She wasn’t fucking tested for testosterone. And even if she was, women can have high testosterone.

            But you and the other white knights telling women they have to prove they’re women if they look too masculine will definitely not discourage “real” girls and women from competing. I’m sure that 12-year-old Chinese skateboarder is just dying for someone to tell her she has to prove she has the correct amount of testosterone or the right type of genes or with a genital examination. You and the others want to torture kids and you don’t even realize it.
