I would like to reiterate that, like I said, people were specifically spreading the misinformation that she was a trans person that was allowed to compete only under some new policies coming from their political enemies- as part of a broader movement and large group of people that spread anti-trans hate online.

In this context, hardly anyone would care about this if not fueled by an anti-trans political movement that latched onto it. Personally, I think it is in poor taste to publicly comment about if someone else may or may not be medically an intersex person- especially when fueled by an undercurrent of hating people for being different in some way. This person is legally a woman, and is a skilled athlete competing in the only way they are legally allowed to.
