    This is a genuine question from someone wanting to be more educated, why is it being downvoted?

      There’s a female boxer in the Olympics that people are saying should be disqualified because of a claim she has XY chromosomes. She has boxed her entire life and demolished an opponent with a record of 5 professional fights and people are claiming it’s her chromosomes giving her an advantage and not her lifelong training.

      People hearing about intersex individuals for the first time due to the olympics. And now don’t know where to fit it into their preexisting worldview

        Soo, they ask about it to help them better understand and maybe change their worldview. What’s wrong with that?

        Edit: after reading some of OP’s replies, yeah, they don’t seem like a nice person
