Lots of talk gain about sport, Olympics and gender. So a little history, Ewa Kłobukowska a Polish sprinter, was banned from the Olympics and stripped of her medals.
Why? She failed a visual inspection of her genetalia and then failed a chromosome test. She would today have been immediately called a man and no doubt the press would have had a field day.
The next year she gave birth.... This was one of the reasons the Olympics stopped using chromosome testing because it's inaccurate and wrong.

@SamanthaJaneSmith Wikipedia supports this only partially?
«This was surprising considering she passed the anatomical sex test a year prior to this competition.»

@richlv I don't believe I mentioned anything about a test a year before?

Fuck the Olympics. They're banned in my household. My caring ended permanently with this story:
Ukrainian star disqualified from Winter Olympics over helmet honoring war dead
The International Olympic Committee told Vladyslav Heraskevych that his "helmet of remembrance" violated its rules prohibiting political statements.

You would think that if a country is banned from competing because of war-crimes, an athlete from the country getting war-crimed could memorialize the dead.
