FUCK the terfs claiming Khelif to be a trans-woman or a biological man. I am glad to hear that a lawsuit is being filed against the cyberbullying done to her.
Imane Khelif was first in the spotlight after her first boxing match in the olympics against Italian boxer Angela Carini, who was hit in the face by Khelif. Famous TERF JK Rowling, Elon Musk, Logan and Jake Paul, and Caitlynn Jenner are some of the people who spoke about Khelif secretly being a trans woman.
I know for a FACT that some of these people speaking on the olympic boxing do not GAF about sports, only acting like they do in the name of "safety". Also, the people criticizing a woman for having high testosterone levels are not, for instance, criticizing runners with longer legs as having an unfair advantage.
Part of sports is advantage. Why do you think most basketball or volleyball players are taller? Because their height gives them an advantage. It's not like these people are using steroids.
TERFs and the people critical of Khelif bother me so much. I saw a comment saying "[she] doesn't punch like a girl", also willfully misgendering her. You are actively buying into misogyny and stereotypes, the very thing you are claiming to be fighting, by making assumptions of what behaviours and/or physical traits are those of a woman. There is no such thing.
AND no one wants to mention the fact that Khelif had tried to comfort Angela after the fight. They're happy going off claiming that Khelif was happy to shatter a poor woman's dreams (hello????? its the olympics??????? someone is going to lose?????) with no bad feelings, when that is simply not true.

There's more I wish to say but I'm not good at putting it into words. All I want to say is that I am tired of the transphobia online surrounding an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST (can you guys just be HAPPY for her, please???) ((and also tired of transphobia in general, but that's another conversation)) and all the claims being made about how she is really a man are dumb as fuck. You guys would bring back eugenics if you tried hard enough, jesus christ. TERFs' message only hurts women and feminism.
