I came across a post discussing Iman Khalif, and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. It’s important to understand that just because Iman has higher levels of testosterone, it doesn’t make her a man. This is simply a natural condition she was born with and has no control over. Imagine if you were born with this and faced bullying because of it—how would you feel? I’m addressing those who claim to support feminism but still expect women to fit certain beauty standards. Where is your support now? To those who continue to say the Algerian boxer is a man, you’re being unfair. I hope you can empathize and understand her situation by putting yourself in her shoes.

ليعتقد الغرب المنافق ما يعتقد لا يهمنانحن في الجزائر مسلمون والتحول الجنسي حرام في ديننا ايمان امرأة مسلمة حرة وعفيفة مثل ااسيدة مريم عليها السلام وكالسيدة فاطمة الزهراء بنت الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وككل امرأة مسلمة شرفخا هو فخرها وكرمتها ومالها

If she is female then i am extraterrestrial

[imagine]

The unfair results, where our female participants are being outperformed by these individuals, have left us deeply disheartened. This situation not only goes against the principles of fair play in sport, but also represents an injustice to our female athletes.

Never ever I wished so much for a Chinese to win in Olympics

[kanishshyam]

[Alhilohe]

*XX & XY Common Sense* but IOC is doctor 😅

[lostwoods]

Congratulations to Khelif! The IBA, the media and the online mob wanted to tear her down but she proved the haters wrong! I’m very proud of her and admire her because what she’s been put through must’ve been so incredibly emotionally and mentally hard. She’s an outstanding athlete who’s earned her wins. Bravo!

[Ms.Williams]

Didn't a doctor confirm that Khelif is biologically male

[kalimgabi]

إيمان خليف إنتصرت على الهالة الإعلامية الصهيونية الفاسدة في الأخير إنتصر الخير على الشر الجزائر العظيمة كبيرة عليكم 🥇

[יונתן-מי]

Men vs men
Women vs women
And transgenders vs transgenders.
Do no mix, it is not fair.

[tamojitroy]

Congrats to Him🎉 for winning in Women's Event!

Now Islamic teachings have also spread to international sports.
"I have brought honour to the whole Arab world, " said Algerian boxer Imane Khelif after winning the Olympics.
Well, that's true, and it is the only truth that this muscle"woman" has spread so far. All female opponents were warned beforehand, but they didn't listen. That is why this Muslim Khelif explicitly followed the Quran, as it says in Surat I-Nisa'a (4:34):
„Those women whose rebellion you fear, admonish them, abandon them in bed, and STRIKE THEM. If they obey you, do not pursue a strategy against them. Indeed, Allah is exalted, great."
Exactly! 😂😂

[AHAMMohd]

That is abuse and all of you must apologize to her. She is 100% woman

[NK-mtkv]

One gold for the men in a women category... What a shame

[etrom.forever]

My man Imane will get his gold medal today!

[taoluo]

The darkest moment in the Olympic history to let a man beat a woman in a women's game 👏👏👏
Congratulations to him👏👏👏
Congratulations to all the future female athletes👏👏👏
