She’s a biological female where are y’all getting your facts from?? She may have some male features not going to lie lols but she’s straight female, so it is puzzles me to think why y’all think she’s a trans? She’s been given the all clear from the Olympic committee, she’s just like any other female fighter! Please use your brains and become more informed before making judgements! You know informed decisions based on facts. Just to end it with some facts, the fighter is a biological female, Olympic committee gave her the all clear like all other fighters have, she qualified in her previous fights! Brother come on, surely now you’re thinking Fark I made a dumb mistake, all good, rectify it by stating facts and not feelings! Chur 😂

Iman Khelif, the Algerian boxer, has proven through all analyses and tests that she is eligible to compete. Yet, she is being subjected to a massive campaign aimed at destroying her morale and eliminating her from the competition. We have seen female athletes from various countries in similar sports with strong masculine appearances, and we have not witnessed any malicious campaigns against them! So why this vile and malevolent campaign against Iman? Are you afraid of her because she wins? Unable to defeat her in the ring, you conspire to remove her in the most deceitful, unsportsmanlike ways? Shame on you and your miserable conduct! Solidarity with Iman Khelif.

The sensationalism played hard on them and the transphobes took it as an Olympic sport to talk about it until they got tired

[kanwarsinghgill]

#boycottolympics for allowing this nonsense.

[karsten]

Ich finde es gut so. Gleiches Recht für Alle.

[User-cr]

Some of these guy dont even learn biology, that's why they didn't know about the concept of XY chromosome that iman khalif has, its called "intersex" which means she originally born as a girl, has same vagina like otherd girls did, but he has extra chromosome which is Y(if im not mistaken, correct me if im wrong) and it automatically make her has high testosterone.

Damn is that the pharaoh from stargate men an women looks like him damn

Iman have xx chromosomes sje is a women with non equal hormones but she have a vagaina and egges and can have baby

[Jabberwocky]

There was a female gymnast who did a vault event on a sprained ankle two times in a row to secure gold for her team. This Olympic boxer gets punched in a face and cries? I would understand crying about getting punched in rhythmic gymnastics or table tennis, but boxing is all about getting punched. Wtf is this? If you want to be a cry baby - stay home.

Imane Khelif, a man, just boxed against Angela Carini during the Olympics. Some people are upset, others are defending this, some are saying the criticism directed at Khelif is just a plot to get Algeria disqualified.

Khelif had been disqualified from professional boxing in the female category before because the IBA did two sex tests on him and the IBA claims that the results show that he is a man cheating by pretending to be a woman. Same as another controversial boxing contestant for the female category, Lin Yu-ting.

Neither of them contested their disqualification in the end which makes it even more suspicious.

The IOC discontinued all sex testing years ago, their only eligibility criteria are now whether someone has the marker for female on their passport. This is why both of the boxers were still able to participate in the Olympics.

Khelif won against his opponent after just 46 seconds. Carini took a punch to the face (there are claims he broke her nose) and forfeited the match, saying she had never been hit this hard before.

Carini was seen visibly angry and in tears, on her knees, repeatedly saying “it’s not fair”. Just like Lin Yu-ting’s opponent, she refused to shake hands. Khelif nonetheless approached her twice, smirking, and even groped her breast after winning.

A lot of people were understandably upset. The IOC issued a statement claiming that the true victims of the situation were the two male boxers.

Now, are they male? Yes.

The IBA defines “woman” as someone with XX-chromosomes, so this leads us to the conclusion that both Lin and Khelif at the very least tested positive for Xy. The test results are available to individual journalists.

Alleged childhood pictures of Khelif surfaced, showing him in pink clothes leading us to believe he was raised as a girl.

His father also presented to the public Khelif’s birth certificate that classifies him as “female”, however, strangely, the birth certificate was only issued in 2018, 19 years after his birth and right at the start of Khelif’s professional boxing career.

Both Imane’s and Lin’s passport says they are “female.”

Now, there are few disorders of sexual development that can lead to women having Xy chromosomes.

One of them is Swyer syndrome, which I’ve seen people claim Khelif has. First, there’s no proof for this. Second, there are documentaries about women with Swyer syndrome and Khelif looks nothing like them. I think it’s pretty apparent from his appearance that Khelif has functioning testicles. He has a male frame, Adams apple, male muscle-to-fat ratio, a male voice and wingspan. There are even pictures of his that show what is clearly male genitalia. Women with Swyer do not develop male genitalia and only produce elevated but female levels of testosterone. They even have to go on female hormone replacement therapy to go through normal puberty.

More claims debunked:
“She is a woman on testosterone”
Khelif is not a woman on testosterone. If that were true, “she” would have to be disqualified for doping. But apart from the fact he has Xy, women who take androgens, even the ones taking a male amount of them, still have female frames. This is me speaking from experience: just look at videos, best unedited, of women on high amounts of testosterone moving. You’ll see they look and move nothing like him, even if they have more muscle and beards.

“She has a uterus and fallopian tubes”
False and entirely based on the fabricated claim that Khelif has Swyer syndrome.

“Khelif has lost to women before, so she must be a woman”
Even cheaters lose sometimes. And even a loser man has no place in women's boxing.

Of course, it is possible that Khelif has lost several times on purpose.

William “Lia” Thomas, who swam with the women as a man in the USA, was caught several times deliberately not paddling his legs to make the difference between himself and the women look smaller.

Here is a quote from Mexican Brianda Tamara, against whom Khelif boxed in 2022:

“When I fought with her, I felt very out of my depth; her blows hurt me a lot. I don’t think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer, nor in my sparring with men. Thank God that day I got out of the ring safely, and it’s good that they finally realized [that he is a man].

“She was born female”
Fact is, we know he was registered as female. We don’t know why that is, but reasons could be: botched circumcision, born with ambiguous genitalia, parents wanted a girl (unlikely since transgenderism is illegal in Algeria). Personally, I think the second reason is true.

Caster Semenya is another man who competed as female, but later fathered a child with sperm from his internal testicles. Semenya has what’s called 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency. That means Semenya is a normal man whose testes just didn’t drop. In some cases, they drop later.

Conclusion: to clear things up and avoid spreading misinformation, we should put pressure on the IOC and the athletes to undergo sex testing in a way that ensures we are getting correct unbiased results.

And yes, the media and many disingenuous people online are lying about about this situation and the athletes’ sexes.

UPDATE: Due to his victory against Anna Luca Hamori, Khelif secures a bronze medal and moves on to the semi-finals. Hamori posted an AI-generated picture before the fight showing her confronting a giant monster man. The fact that she has a lighter color in the picture, while Khelif is shown with darker skin, adds fuel to the fire of a discussion about racism that has flared up on Twitter/X.

After the fight against Lin Yu-ting that secured him bronze, Staneva, his opponent, made a double x sign with her hands.
“I only want to play with women, I am double X.”
