So far, Khelif has not commented on the issue, nor has she provided any proof to otherwise confirm or deny whether she is DSD. Because of this, if she goes on to win her boxing matches, the controversy of whether she deservingly won those matches are just going to continue.
The IOC policy failure that I spoke of lies in how IOC did not clearly define the eligibility requirements for the competing athletes to convince the public that the games' outcomes are fair.

"Her biological makeup" is of no concern to the IOC or you, any more than Shaquille O'Neil's "biological makeup" is for being big and tall, or Simone Biles for being small and strong, or Michael Phelps for having a huge number of genetic advantages including a body that produces low levels of lactic acid.
Being a female is what entitles her to compete with females.
I get that people are mad that they can't be mad about a trans boxer, but making shit up about genetic policy is bad boomer behavior. You should reconsider acting that way. You're not protecting female boxers or anyone else, you're just coming up with new ways to exert control over peoples' will.
