The gender issue at the 2024 Paris Olympics is a hot topic. There are 191 people who have publicly declared themselves to be a third gender, but the number may be much higher “underground”.
Gender issues are always a controversial and sensitive issue for any sports event. It is sensitive because progressive people are gradually recognizing and equalizing the third gender. But in a top sports competition like the Olympics with a male power, if they compete in women, it is really a disaster. Like Angela Carini of Italy was surprised by the anger and had to cry.
The hormone Testoterone (male hormone) is present in both men and women’s bodies, but normally in men’s muscles, the amount of testosterone is 20 times higher than in women.
According to data from the American sports science hospital Mount Sinai, the amount of testosterone in men is from 10 to 35 manomoles in 1 liter of blood, while in women it is 0.5 to 2.4 in a barrel of blood. Testosterone levels in men and women increase or decrease depending on the activity.
Women with high levels of testosterone will stimulate muscle, hair, skin and other parts, including the pharynx to develop and at the same time lead to masculinized behavior. In this fight, you can show the most clearly, can perform basically, persistently, and strongly.
For many years, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has had a headache about determining whether the opposition is female or male. The current IOC standard is to eliminate suspicion of male when tested for male subjects must be below 10 nanomoles and this intensity must last for 1 year to be recognized as female.
Gender discrimination in Olympic competitions is a real nightmare because of lawsuits and even the parliaments of the third gender group marched in protest, putting pressure… At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Laurel Hubbard of New Zealand was a transgender case, “she” changed from male to female and was guaranteed to compete in the women’s category when within 12 months, Hubbard’s male course was under 10. However, in the female body and from birth, being female but then difficult for the male category to develop strongly, muscles like men, that is what has been a headache for the IOC from Caster Semenya of South Africa to now boxer Imane Khelif. These people have the strength of men but are assumed to be female because they were female from birth, during the process of growing up, the amount of testosterone developed too much so their strength is extremely good, along with the overwhelming male characteristics.
