The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment.
Imane Khelif’s lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.
On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: “All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world.”
Still a bit wild when you think about it: she comes from a religion that’s against it, a country that’s both against it and has it illegal, and she has no desire to change gender. Yet they all are saying she is.
Yeah these “we can always tell” people are fucking brain dead apparently.
The same people that did not know Liberace or Elton John were gay.
Transphobia is a mental illness
I think those who still insists Imane is a man are doubling down because they can’t admit that they were wrong. Their ego is wounded. I saw some claims that, apparently, the Algerian government wilfully overlooked or changed Imane’s gender. As if that would ever happen for reasons you mentioned.
The Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu Ting who was also DQed by the IBA with no evidence also won gold. Her coach thanked JK Rowling, saying “most people probably didn’t know or care about women’s boxing. Now the whole world knows Yu Ting and Taiwan and that she is a champion.”
This controversy has done wonders for women’s boxing.
damn thats dropping hotter than a mixtape
against who tho? looks like the whole global far right was against her
Against those who started this harassment campaign: the IBA. Those russian assholes began this with their falss evidence.
