The intersex claim is true (as far as we can know), but still as irrelevant as when originally mentioned as justification shortly after the original controversy.
Despite what she says now to retain sponsors, Carini didn't immediately break down into tears and quit because she was outclassed in technique; it was because she knew (due to IBA precedence and IOC's inconsistency) that the fight was pseudo-rigged.
I don't know about the other (slightly newer) boxer controversy, but the intersex angle is immaterial. "Progressives" will use whatever angle they can to justify gender politics...and, yeah, most of those will actually be self-identified females that the IOC will green light. Testing determines biological qualification, which Khelif did not pass.
As for Angela, she is a spineless rat who cannot stand up for principles.
Her opponent wasn't trans as far as anyone can tell, just intersex. I wonder how many people blowing a gasket even know that.

IBA decided the boxer had advantages that would disqualify for female competition - https://www.iba.sport/news/statement-made-by-the-international-boxing-association-regarding-athletes-disqualifications-in-world-boxing-championships-2023/
