Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is the latest Olympic athlete deemed insufficiently female by extremists obsessed with the strictest of gender binaries.

    Worth noting that the IBA is not considered credible by the IOC, is considered highly influenced by Russian corruption, and that this failure came just after she defeated a Russian.

    Also, despite whatever tests she may have failed in the past, she passed eligibility tests to compete in these Olympics.

        Also worth noting that anyone who thinks Algeria would send a trans woman to the Olympics is pretty ignorant.

          Yes, we were expecting a clue that transphobe halfwits are ignorant. Can they even define what trans is? I don’t think so.
