This is pretty rich. After boxer Imane Khelif, whose passport says he's a woman, pummeled Italian boxer Angela Carini for 46 seconds before she gave up, there was a lot of controversy over letting those with XY chromosomes compete in women's sports at the Olympic Games. IOC President Thomas Bach claims there are some people who want to "own" the definition of who is a woman, and he's certainly willing to look at any scientific evidence presented to him. Science!
XX-XY Athletics posted this pathetic video:

Being against men punching women in the face is now a culture war issue? Insane.

Is it really "some want to own the definition of who is a woman" or is he talking about people who want to follow the biologically scientific definition of a woman?

Everything out of this dudes mouth is driven by ideology not biology. You sir are the one making it political.

It’s a very basic definition, Tom.

And of course, he brings up "hate speech." But some people are trying to politicize this.

No, we want science to verify what we know a woman is biologically. There is no ownership with the truth. The truth simply is.

No one "owns" the definition of who is a woman. But at the very least women should be able to own their own sex.
