    They sound like unrelated questions, as the boxer is not attempting to do or be a part of any of those objectives? So why even ask them?

    The boxer has not asked to have her womb removed or a penis implanted. The boxer does not love in a society that embraces intersex people, so i doubt very much that the boxer is going into schools trying to promote tolerance of transgenders.

    Focusing on the apparent facts at hand, this is a case of excessive androgen levels in a female athlete.

    I equate this with the Michael Phelps example previously, of advantage through body chemistry. Arguably, having long legs as a runner is no different.

    If you can isolate this from the broader conversation around transgender, it becomes easier to understand.
