I’m not so sure.
Through most of history people would have used the eye test and common sense and ostracized her as a circus freak
In the context of fight sports or actual combat, she would have been considered a goddess of war for her ability to crush skulls.
And yes, I don't think gender as a category exists. It's a distribution with two peaks along a spectrum. I am a biologist. I don't care about your insecurities.
By the way, if you say she should not compete because it's unfair. Then you are saying we should do genetic testing on all previous medallists and record holders across all sports to see if they were genetically advantaged and stripped of their medals and records. For fairness. That's silly.

Watch the video and tell yourself that gender as a category exists

And what does have that to do with anything?
I know you're confused about all this, but please try to focus on the topic at hand.

The man is clearly bigger and stronger and more aggressive than the female victim

Any large woman with an inclination towards violence will beat the shit out of a smaller male with no fight training or violent bend. Proves nothing and off topic. No offense.
When the IOC has to rule on whether to allow an athlete compete, they have to consider the rules in place at the moment. Not culture wars or ideologies.
Fact of the matter is until proven otherwise, Imene Khelif is a woman by the definition currently used in sports.
You don't make rules up as you go, based on eyes tests, BECAUSE of fairness in sports.

You are ignoring 'her' XY chromosome
"She" is genetically advantaged vs normal women
If you think gender as a category shouldn't exist, this person should box vs men
Let's put her in actual combat! No one will object.
There is no world where she is considered a goddess of anything.
The IBA already disqualified her. IOC decided to overrule them for clown world reasons.

No such thing as a XY chromosome. But don't let that get in the way of spreaing your confused ideology.

You think gender should not exist and my ideology is confused
