Lin Yu-Ting secured Team Taiwan's first-ever final berth in boxing at the Olympic Games despite unfounded accusations over her gender eligibility. Whatever the outcome in the finals to be held today, Yu-Ting should be celebrated for her dedication as a professional athlete who had to fight battles both inside and outside of the ring. #IStandWithYuTing

The #Taiwanese government plans to take legal action against the International Boxing Association regarding its unfounded accusations over boxer Lin Yu-ting's gender eligibility after the Paris #Olympic Games, the Executive Yuan said Thursday. focustaiwan.tw/sports/2024080…

🇩🇿 Imane Khelif was born in a small village in rural Algeria According to reports, it was the most attended birth in the history of the world, with half of Twitter having been present in the delivery room and confirming her gender Dollar-store geneticists 😅

🇹🇼@MOFA_Taiwan condemns the insinuations about the gender of our Olympic boxing athlete Lin Yu Ting made by Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN.

Taiwan President @ChingteLai has continously surprised (and somewhat amazed) me for taking strong actions when needed. He has asked Taiwan's Sports Administration to take legal actions against IBA for its malicious attacks against boxer Lin Yu-ting. tw.news.yahoo.com/%E8%B3%B4%E7%B…

#IStandWithFemaleAthletes Lin Yu-Ting was born female and has complied with all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit. She've done all the efforts she could. Pls stand with her IBA doesn't release any valid information about the so-called faild tests.

#IStandWithFemaleAthletes Not to take anything away from Ezra, but Yu-Ting is a female athlete as well. We should not let misinformation and baseless accusations spread like this.

She bleeds PERIODICALLY. #IStandWithFemaleAthletes

@babybeginner #IStandWithFemaleAthletes Not to take anything away from Ezra, but Yu-Ting is a female athlete as well. We should not let misinformation and baseless accusations spread like this.

So is Yu-Ting. Lin Yu-Ting was born female and has complied with all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit. There is an astounding amount of evidence (her social security number, pictures from her childhood, gender checks from various boxing competitions) that proves Lin Yu-Ting is a biological female.

Lin Yu-Ting è nata femmina e ha rispettato tutte le norme mediche applicabili stabilite dall'unità pugilistica di Parigi 2024. Esiste un'incredibile quantità di prove (il suo numero di previdenza sociale, le foto della sua infanzia, i controlli di genere di varie competizioni di pugilato) che dimostrano che Lin Yu-Ting è una femmina biologica. Eppure, finora, l'IBA non ha fornito alcuna prova per le sue false accuse. I loro test erano viziati e illegittimi.

You are in fact spreading misinformation. Esra’s opponent, Yu-Ting, is a female athlete as well. There is an astounding amount of evidence (her social security number, pictures from her childhood, gender checks from various boxing competitions) that proves Lin Yu-Ting to be a biological female.

We strongly condemn @RussiaUN’s @Dpol_un for the accusations against Olympic athletes, citing false claims from the discredited IBA. #Taiwan🇹🇼 female boxer Lin Yu-Ting’s IOC-confirmed eligibility for #Paris2024 is indisputable. #UN Security Council should have no place for lies!

The president of the 🇮🇹 Italian Olympic Committee Giovanni Malagò has revealed that the IBA put pressure on Italian boxer Angela Carini before her fight with 🇩🇿 Imane Khelif: "Angela showed me the pressure she was subjected to in the days preceding the match by the IBA. I told her not to pay attention to it and to just think about fighting" Malagò also added that he received the necessary documents on Khelif's eligibility from IOC: "I received the document from the highest medical authority of the IOC on the regularity of Khelif's participation in the tournament. The rest is just chatter that has overwhelmed Angela .. but I'm not at all surprised that the issue has become political." The plot thickens. 🧐

🧵 For those kept saying Lin Yu-Ting did not appealed to the CAS, it’s important to emphasise that CAS would only intervene when all parties agree to do so. According to Lin’s coach, they appealed the decision, yet IBA ignored it, it’s likely IBA has been lying since then. (1/4)

The attacks on Lin Yu-ting & Imane Khelif show the deep harm caused by "sex testing" in sports. These policies violate women's privacy and dignity. The IOC's stand reminds us that every woman deserves the right to compete with respect and fairness. #HumanRights #SupportWomenInSport

Lin Yu-ting was born as female, her national ID number indicates that she is a female. This is not the first time Lin compete at the highest level boxing event, no one has ever doubted her gender until she involved with gender controversies which is made by IBA. We all know that IBA is controlled by the Russians, so apparently these controversies are Russian lies and Russian propagandas, they cannot be trusted. What Esra Yildiz Kahraman did is straight unprofessional and unsportsmanlike. Don’t be a sore loser!!!

Lin Yu-Ting was born a woman. She has been female since birth. She is participating in the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 with her strength and has complied with all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit, which have been consistently applied throughout all qualification events. Lin Yu-Ting is a victim of the sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA. Up to now, the IBA has not provided any evidence. The IBA should establish a legitimate and clear gender testing procedure, instead of repeatedly and baselessly claiming that “Taiwan is a part of China.” This cannot erase the fact that Lin Yu-Ting represents Taiwan as a female athlete. We reiterate that everyone has the right to participate in sports without discrimination. Moreover, anyone who supports the rights of female athletes should stand against this bullying behavior. The attack on Lin Yu-Ting is a form of international bullying. But she never gives up, and she has reached the final despite the eligibility dispute. “The more we’re bullied, the stronger we become.” We, the Taiwanese people, will always stand with her and be her strongest support. 💪
