The Women's Boxing Fiasco

Occasionally, doctors really do wrongly Assign Female at Birth.

An irony of the Olympic women’s boxing fiasco in which an Algerian widely suspected of being, more or less, a man has advanced to the gold medal round and a Taiwanese to the semifinals (so far) is that these might be the rare cases in which the “sex assigned at birth” actually was wrong. Perhaps these two babies who appeared to doctors to be girls actually were boys on the inside due to a birth defect that left their testicles on the interior of their bodies.

During the Transgender Craze of the Great Awokening, we’ve been instructed over and over that doctors are constantly wrongly assigning male or female at birth. Interestingly, the same authority figures who assure us of that are now also defending the International Olympic Committee’s negligence in refusing to test these two competitors to see if the doctors actually did make a mistake before turning them loose to beat up women.

I say “might,” however, because I don’t trust either warring bureaucracy — the International Olympic Committee or the International Boxing Association — to tell the whole truth.
