    Khelif was assigned female at birth, has lived her entire life as a woman, has a passport that lists her as a woman from a country that has no trans rights.

    If this had happened in the 1904 St Louis Olympics, when women’s boxing was first an Olympic sport, nobody would have batted an eyelid. This is just right wing moral panic.

      Was she born intersex before being assigned female? I’m sorry but I haven’t followed all the details of the gender test and how she failed it. Do you know?
