Apparently Hilton (developmental biologist/researcher) believes that Khelif most likely has 5ARD & not Swyer Syndrome because puberty for the latter requires hormone treatment, while the former has male puberty without any exogenous hormones. (Not sure if the post is still up, but she has other posts discussing DSDs more generally.)

That's probably what all of the runners in the past and the other boxer have as well. Swyer syndrome doesn't present with a physical advantage against women since there are no testes to virilize the body. Female DSDs are generally even more catastrophic to physical health.

When you're living in a South Park episode, it's important to be able to laugh. I accidentally fell into a toon rabbithole – Freedom Toons. People were also having fun with the comments:

I used to be considered obese, but I started identifying as slim. I'm now a translender.

I used to be skinny, but I started identifying as obese. I am now Transfat.

I used to be easily bored, but I started identifying as a focused person. I'm now Transfixed.

I used to be a night person, but I started identifying as a morning person I'm now a Trans A.M.

I used to be only able to speak English, but I started identifying as multilingual. I'm now a Translator.

I used to live in a slum, but I started identifying as living in a rose garden. I'm now a Transplant. And so on and on...
