Indira Naganathar What are you talking about?

[@lease2coach170]

Not to be nasty, but I'd bet a fair amount that this woman (Shouaa) is not actually completely XX. That wouldn't make her unique in Olympic competition, however...

[@bernardliu8526]

What proof do you have ?

[@TeekoNST]

She's trans

[@couch.patati-patata]

She does look male.

[@dianabarsom5541]

@@couch.patati-patata what makes you say that about her and not the other athletes?

[@dianabarsom5541]

@@TeekoNST you can literally say this about any other athlete ! + Trans women still look more muscler and shredded
