Dr. Hemmati explained further, “Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) is a condition where individuals have XY chromosomes but are resistant to male hormones (androgens) due to a mutation in the androgen receptor gene. As a result, they develop external female anatomy despite having male chromosomes and are raised and identify as females. Many do not even know they are chromosomally ‘male’ until they experience infertility as adults!”
The doctor’s analysis remains speculative, but the core argument persists: individuals with such conditions competing against women in sports raises questions of fairness and safety.
The debate over gender equality in sports is not limited to the boxing match. It has broader implications for the entire athletic community, as evidenced by the passionate response from athletes and advocates.
Payton McNabb, a volleyball player who was partially paralyzed after being struck by a ball spiked by a transgender opponent, has publicly criticized the Olympics over its handling of gender-related controversies. At the age of 17, McNabb suffered a severe injury when the force of the ball struck her face, causing her to lose consciousness and fall to the ground.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, McNabb expressed her concerns: “It’s disgusting that two boxers who failed gender tests have been cleared to fight women at this year’s Games in Paris,” she said. “There is a biological difference between trans women and biological women that cannot be ignored.”

McNabb’s fears extend to the potential risks faced by female athletes under current policies. “It’s dangerous to have the two sexes competing together; it’s just not okay. I am personally disgusted by this. This is morally wrong and evil.”
Her statement reflects a growing sentiment among many athletes and spectators who question the integrity of allowing biologically male athletes to compete against women in certain sports. “Women have worked so hard and trained tirelessly to get all the way to the Olympics, only to be put in harm’s way,” McNabb lamented. “It used to be illegal for men to beat up women, and now it’s being televised for everyone to see. It’s such a weird reality we are living in now.”
