Isn't that boxer being discussed female tho?

the reporting is really murky which is why i was trying to figure out what was actually going on before saying anything, but from what i can tell (which, again, murky) it's a semenya-like situation where someone with xy has something like 5a reductase deficiency or androgen insensitivity (both of which are male-specific DSDs)

the specifics are being kept confidential but multiple tests have supported the disqualification

either way i think i'd trust the olympic-level boxer to know what kinds of force she's been up against before, and i doubt she'd tap out that early unless something was really wrong

Look, sometimes the best thing to do for your mental health is to write a five pages genetics research paper on the variance of primary sexual characteristics due to irregularities in the placement of the SRY coding gene, functional androgen receptors, and deficiencies in the 5a-reductase enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to dihydroxytestosterone purely so people can write more engaging worldbuilding for pornography tangentially related to werewolves.

The fact that it was a week before an episode of psychosis is completely beside the point. Now, I'm off to compile my sources from the Books of Enoch and the Genesis Apocryphon found in the Dead Sea scrolls in order to explain why Noah was a twink.

No weapon formed by the hand of man can stop this, because God won't let me die. Thank you.

Coping mechanisms for the mentally disturbed: debating on writing out several academic-style mla-cited explorations of various fanfic tropes that people either 1) don't really care about or 2) are aware of because everyone only ever hears about that trope for the absolute batshit insane kink shit
