Yes, a male with DSD, which is what every reputable expert like Emma Hilton were saying. There has to be consequences for the people that enabled this to happen, it's not a super complicated topic and there was no shortage of experts that were willing to help the IOC understand the issue.

I wouldn't hold your breath, its the same issue as Semenya and they're still trying to find a way for him to compete, yes there's the added issue of a man beating up a woman in this case but other than bad PR, I don't see why the IOC would react differently

Less enthused after skimming it...
Bugger all data supporting the use of puberty blockers, no reliable data.

There has been a case at the Supreme Court in London over the last two days about the definition of woman and the consequences, the world has gone mental
In one of the many highlights, alongside the Scottish Government KC suggesting she needed a flow chart to answer a question about male access to a certain space and therefore didn’t know the answer, was when the same KC suggested it would be considered discrimination were a transwoman to be denied access to a cervical smear…

In more positive news, I was watching netball with my 12 year old daughter last night and I mentioned the winner of the bbc football bollocks, and without prompting she turned to me and said, “it’s so stupid and so unfair, I don’t care how they dress or how they behave, but boys are stronger than girls, they shouldn’t be allowed in girls sport, or in our toilets and changing rooms”
