Looks like we officially have a South Park meme once again happening ahead of its time... She was dismissed from IBA (International Boxing Association) for failing a DNA test that proved XY chromosomes, but Mark Adams with Olympic committee approved Imale Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting to fight biological females.
EDIT:
Here's the IBA (International Boxing Association) response and acknowledgement that they were both disqualified on two tests conducted.
EDIT: For those downvoting, I am not talking about transgender, etc. She has a condition, DSD, but genetically has XY chromosomes and testosterone in the male levels. This condition has shown that someone with DSD can punch up to 162% harder than someone without. They both have biologically male genes.

I also removed the JK Rowling Transgender X post as it was misleading.
EDIT: Thank you all who are sharing information and having me dig deeper. For information on this, I utilized NHS site for how this condition works. I'm not a professional, I believe she has 46,XY DSD condition. Please make your own opinion based on the information.
