So now we are policing how women are supposed to look? Yikes.
There is no proof for the same reason there is no proof of gender for any other boxing athlete: it’s none of your business, and she isn’t obligated to meet your approval. The IOC has stated she met the criteria for participation.

The Olympics allows specific sports to handle this issue. For swimming, Lia Thomas was not allowed to compete in the female category. Boxing had different rules.
You should look these things up before you post ignorant comments. The IOC requires that boxers passports be marked as 'Female'. Algeria isn't exactly in the practice of changing passports.
She was obviously born female...and yet here you are trying to claim that she's a case of trans women in sports.
Which should tell every reasonable person everything they need to know about the issue.
(Side note: Lia Thomas' personal best isn't even close to a qualifying time for the Olympics, again, which kind of shows that even in this case, trans women don't have any particular advantage over cis women...SMH)
There are and always have been huge amounts of people who believe all kinds of things that are wrong. Just listen to any of the focus groups podcasts. Truth and reality are not a popularity contest.

And? She was still eligible.
Boxing was less fussy, going by passport only.
Okay. She’s still eligible. So there is no need to get tested just to satisfy you. I wouldn’t do the test either.
It’s not just me. There are huge numbers of women who agree with me.
