It's possible for a woman with XY chromosomes to produce testosterone if she doesn't have testicles? or we are talking about an hermaphrodite? - Lemmy.World

Does she need to have testicles to produce testosterone, right?

Testosterone is also produced in the renal glands, so no not necessary to have testicles
I’m wondering about the Olympics boxer who knocked out the other boxer, how it is posible for her to have that amount of testosterone in her body? Is she a hermaphrodite?
I heard that one has been a man before redefining his/her legal gender.
So is she trans? Or WTF I don’t understand the thing at this point? How is it posible she competed with a genetic women being a trans woman?

She’s a generic women, XY female it’s a thing. That being said we don’t know if she actually is XY female. The IOC says she’s meets all qualifications to fight as a female, those being assigned female at birth and female on her passport. The only source we have that she may have XY chromosomes is the IAB president telling media that’s what her disqualification was about.

It should be noted though that we don’t know what tests, if any, were performed to determine this. Also to, the best of my knowledge, there’s no actual proof of elevated testosterone levels aside from the disqualification last year.

I think that the IOC banned the IAB from running the Olympic competition and the complete lack of transparency from the IAB cats a big shadow on their ruling.
