Take Caster Semenya as an example
"Semenya has said that she was born with a vagina and internal undescended testes, but that she has no uterus or fallopian tubes and does not menstruate.[11][23][24] Her internal testes produce natural testosterone levels in the typical male range.[11][25] Semenya has rejected the label of "intersex", calling herself "a different kind of woman."
Yes shes a women on her birth cert and passport but she is different to the women she is competing against & if she trains right eats right and has talent it may be fair to say that women cant compete with her, is this fair? i would say not and im sure the 3 ladies who came 4 5 & 6 in that rio final to the 3 high testos ladies might agree with that
as for the 2 current boxers they are an unknown quantity at the moment and unknowns make people jumpy and jump to conclusions etc, asking for clarity on whether they may have DSD like caster does and was tested for is not a bad thing, clarity is always good and yes u might offend the ladies and their countries but the end product is correct, fairness and integrity of the sport, usually there is no smoke with fire and there is a lot of chatter about these boxers just like there was about caster and others and i think all the chatter was proven correct in the end
