Hey Stryder50 I noticed you didn't respond to this. Are you going to man up (no pun intended) and admit you were wrong about Lin being a woman?I learned a long time ago to not bother giving sources to Wingnuts because you all pretend you didn't see them.
But for anyone else interested in rising above misinformation.
Lin was registered female at birth, New Taipei City Councilor Cho Kuan-ting (卓冠廷) said in a Facebook post on Wednesday. Lin’s national identification number begins with a “2,” the designation for females, while males are assigned a “1.” The number cannot be altered, according to Hsinchu City Government.
Lin has been competing in female boxing competitions since she was in middle school, per Lin's middle school documentary by New Taipei Municipal Yingge Junior High School. The first time in Taiwan's sports history that transgender middle and high school athletes have been explicitly allowed to participate was in Taiwan's 2023 National High School Games, per the Ministry of Education.
Lin, born in 1995, began boxing at 13 to protect her mother from domestic abuse, her mother revealed. Lin became the first to take gold in Taiwan’s women’s junior boxing history at the IBA Women's Junior/Youth World Boxing Championships in 2013, per New Taipei City 2021.
