For context, the Russian head of the IBA summarily introduced ‘gender testing’ when he got worried that Khelif was actually good at boxing, and miraculously found that she had “Y chromosomes”. No explanation of what the ‘test’ was; no details of the ‘results’… just some Russian guy claiming that a woman he didn’t like was a man.
Do people know what happens to gay and trans people in Algeria? Do they think that Algeria would allow a trans woman to even exist, let alone compete in the Olympics?
Shes from Algeria, sunni muslim population, would have been jailed or worse before ever getting close to a boxing ring if she was transgender, "Homosexuality is prohibited by law, and the prevailing social attitude is openly negative, even violent. The law does not recognize or respect the civil rights of LGBT persons. Officially, there are no gay-friendly establishments and no political organization is allowed to campaign for LGBT rights."
