awakening to get a bit Grr I’m Mad on pmc wall posts sorry guys but while I never rlly watch the Olympics at all the sheer level of shitty journalism and straight up lies I’ve seen abt the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is drop dead insane . she beat an Italian boxer named Angela Carini in 40 seconds (she withdrew, broke down in tears and said ‘it wasn’t fair’ ) and now there’s roughly 5 gorbillion news outlets being like A BIOLOGICAL MAN PUNCHES A WOMAN 😲 which is already infuriating but to make this somehow worse Khelif is not trans . she was born a girl was raised as a girl and is very much a girl (and, ofc, she would still be one even if she wasn’t born afab lmao) and there’s genuinely countless amounts of people dogpiling on this woman . her father has said he originally disproved of her even wanting to box as he was against girls boxing, and in Algeria it’s unfortunately illegal to be transgender . JK Rowling and Logan Paul and Elon Musk and shit claiming she’s a trans woman who is competing against dainty defenseless cis women (it’s boxing???? You get punched???) when she isn’t . she has competed in boxing at a worldwide level for a few years, and has been beaten by other cis women anyway . the IBA claimed she and another boxer from Taiwan who also happens to look Not Petite And Feminine have XY chromosomes but they are not disclosing how they performed these tests, and only did them at the order of the CEO after Khelif beat a Russian boxer (the IBA is a Russian association that has had major issues with corruption, the Olympics have dropped them entirely) and it’s insane . she’s just a cis, masculine looking non-white woman and is getting relentlessly bullied by every moron on the planet rn and it’s that bad she could genuinely sue multiple people and news outlets for millions . Logan Paul actually apologised even though he called her evil and shit and I have a pretty strong feeling 100% of it is because she has such solid foundations to throw out dozens of lawsuits . Transphobia has a massive splash damage effect. If you don’t fit the western ideals of what a woman looks like, you are no longer deemed one, even if you WERE born as one now, and it’s disgusting . she’s fighting a Thai woman in like 10 minutes who has only expressed positivity towards fighting Khelif and even if she loses I think she’s very powerful for getting through the amount of dumb bullshit thrown towards her by the worst journalism I’ve ever seen in my life . and if she Was trans this shit would be even more terrifying . she’s guaranteed a bronze medal, but I hope she wins lol I was happy to see there is great support for her from Algerian fans

edit: she is officially in the finals and guaranteed a silver :]
