In the interview, her French trainer and biology professor stated that he referred her to a world class endocrinologist, who confirmed “she is indeed a woman, despite her karyotype and testosterone levels.” In other words, she’s XY and male testosterone levels. (They never made it clear what facts were relied on for the “she is indeed a woman” statement, but obviously it wasn’t her genome). The following exchange took place between the journalist and trainer/bio professor immediately after this statement about her karyotype: Some claim that XY profiles have a physical, muscular superiority over XX profiles. “People say that everyone should play sports. Everyone, except these people? Some suggest creating special categories, but even within a group of hypoandrogenic or hyperandrogenic people, there are differences among them. There is such a significant variation that categories cannot be established.” Her trainer also admitted they had to lower her testosterone levels to below male levels.
It’s not like she cheated the system. She has been a woman her whole life. Let her compete. We can’t ban athletes for winning (if we can call that winning in some cases) the genetic lottery.
the human body is a bit more convoluted than just a pair of chromosomes and edge cases exist
Phelps should have to give back his medals because he has Marfan syndrome.

Micheal Phelps competed in the Open division, not the womens
post history
So is it your job to parrot Russian propaganda or just a misguided hobby for you?
She can compete sure, in the open division that anyone can compete in. Surely you cant argue that the people with XY chromosomes in the Open division have an unfair advantage right?
