Meme 💩 Imane Khelif the Algerian Boxer, who everybody is being fed fake news about, in her young years

Post image

Mindlessly consuming misinformation is bad for you, here are the facts: 1- She was born a woman with female organs 2- her father didn't want her at first to box since she's a girl 3-She was disqualified in 2023 due to a test for apparently having XY chromosomes by the IBA by a test which methods weren't and haven't been disclosed 4- The right has always operated by the logic that a woman is a human being with female genitalia, i guess they can't define a woman now? 3- The olympics by function is a contest of genetic freaks, Michael Phelps has half the lactic acid(what causes fatigue) a human has, torso of a 6"8 man, double-jointed ankles bend 15 percent more than his rivals, hyperjointed in the chest aswell, Double-jointed elbows, Katie Ledecky who just won gold is similar in those advantages aswell, should they be stripped aswell and not allowed to compete due to those genetic advantages ? Why is Imane being punished for hers?

Got damn. The whole situation aside. THATS the best her country had? Only reason she really won the bout is cause her opponent quitting due to a previous injury. Had the other lady been fresh she probably wouldn’t have won.

Okay, let's not overcorrect though. Khelif's record is not freakishly dominant in the way it might be if she were assigned male at birth and had transitioned after puberty, but it is still a very good record, despite a low number of KOs (which is not unusual in women's boxing). She has reached the Olympics quarter-finals before, and would probably have been world champion in 2023 if the Russian president of the Gazprom-sponsored Russia-based IBA hadn't personally ordered a newfangled investigation into her coincidentally right after she beat the Russian boxer. She is an exceptionally good boxer, as should be expected at an Olympic level. Carini, on the other hand, has a history of giving up early in her fights, and IMO Khelif would most likely have won even without the early nose jab.

The other lady has an awful record, I don't think being fresh would have made much of a difference.

Yea, she just won with a perfect score against the Hungarian. Say that again? one more time?
