That's fair. There's certainly people who do freak out and go to extremes over this stuff. I've also seen panic and outraged used more as gaslighting, which is a dishonest debating tactic. That's all I meant.
Absolutely. That was just never the discussion attached to the facts of this case.
People who argued that gonads are irrelevant to gender would be able to accept she is a woman regardless of her gonads while pointing out the irreconcilable position of those people who are arguing that gonads matter but she is a man despite having a vagina.
If they haven’t figured out already, they will be in for a shock at puberty then they develop facial hair, voice cracking, an adams apple, and no breasts. The person will experience significant angst as a key aspect of their identity is up-ended. If you believe that gender is binary and immutable, then this is an irresolvable paradox.

WTF.Meanwhile, from the IBA (also archived here) .....
IBA is to award Angela Carini of Italy with Olympic champion prize money
International Boxing Association (IBA) will award Angela Carini, who abandoned the fight against Algeria’s Imane Khelif at Paris 2024 Games after 46 seconds of the first round, the IBA prize money as if she were an Olympic champion, President Umar Kremlev claimed. Carini refused to continue the...
Should probably give her the medal too.

the IOC used to test but have left that determination to the member organizations. Decisions can be appealed to the The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Doing so puts the matter in the public record though.
"Ammitrati" is Italian for "admired," soooooo .....In other news... more gender issues at the Olympics....
Interesting timing re: when the Algerian boxer was declared ineligible by the IBA and who benefitted ....They can go ahead. The IBA is a bunch of cronies working for Russian interests.
Banned governing body that's fueling outcry on Olympic boxers has Russian ties and troubled history
The allegations that Olympic boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting failed an eligibility test for women's competition have been made by only the International Boxing Association.
Yes very "interesting" timing indeed. But Russia certainly wouldn't stoop to unethical practices in order to ensure their prowess in sports, right?
Never, of course, but it makes one wonder whose playbook the current IBA president picked up governance management tips from, according to this from Wikipedia ....
Given what looks like an IBA history of ... flexible governance practices, once they had everyone's DNA testing, if they did it for one, I'd guess it didn't break their hearts to have to do it to someone else, too. After all, the IBA president can be accused of a lot of things, but wokeness ain't one of them ....
why not appeal then?
