Outrage ensues as Imane Khelif, who is reportedly intersex, dominates female boxer Angela Carini in under a minute in women's boxing, raising safety concerns.
Khelif is a male and reportedly has hyperandrogenism, which as far as I know is not a disorder of sexual development. Even those with DSDs are still either male or female. It seems more and more medical conditions are now implied to make sex ambiguous, or intersex. It won't be long before high or low blood pressure, diabetes, migraines, fungus toe, hernias, etc. (you name it) are now considered to be a sign of ambiguous sex. After all, many medical conditions are more prevalent in one sex or the other, so why not say that a male with migraines (predominate in females) is now a female if he so declares? Males do not belong in female sports.

Fully agree. Great points.
