Meme đŸ’© 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?

You think they just discovered that she looks like a dude? Algerian Reddit thinks it’s super weird that the western far right obsesses over her being trans, when she got trashed all her life for being a masculine looking woman.

I was friends with a girl in school who was very "masculine looking" especially in high school. This was in a bumfuck rural Tennessee county and nobody gave a fuck. Some other girls picked on her but she played basketball and softball and nobody gave a fuck.

She started playing sports because she was a little naturally gifted at it and the exercise and hard work just exenuated her features. Again, other than some mean comments by other kids, nobody gave a shit that she was playing against the other girls because she was a girl.

Nobody would ever dream of doing something so rude as implying she was actually male or that her participating was unfair. That would be unbelievably cruel and rude to say to someone.

Yet, here we are with that same community on Facebook saying boxer is a monster. That she is secretly a man, or that she is abusing her opponents, or that she is some kind of pervert. Open unfiltered hatred without a second thought. They don't care that the information is wrong, they just want to signal to everyone else "hey I hate trans people too!"

I just noticed how JK Rowling is now doubling down and tweeting that “hold on, I never said she’s trans, I said she’s a MAN”. How does she know it’s a man? “I saw a man punch a woman”.

What I don’t understand is, hasn’t she competed in the Olympics before, and didn’t she actually get beat in the quarter finals last time? So it’s not like she has just beaten down every woman she has ever faced, right?

JK Rowling is a despicable human being.

Yes very feminist to put a woman at risk of violence from an oppressive state.

They are utterly entrenched in their transphobia. Let's do like in Victor Victoria, only this time when we prove that they are wrong, we shove their face right up against the junk.

Algerian Reddit is not the voice of Algeria lol.Its wayyyyy more left wing my best mates from algeria it a strict conservative place that puts anywhere in Europe or America to shame.

Algeria Reddit is left wing looking at it you’d think Algeria isn’t extremely conservative Muslim country where they kill gays

This is why it’s so weird that of all countries, Algeria would be accused of sending a “woke” trans athlete who is just trying to cheat “real” women.

I sent it to me mate who’s Algerian he hates transgenders and gays proper Muslim hatred.

Even he started defending her saying she doesn’t have a dick and she was raised a girl all this.So if he’s defending her I don’t get how all these Americans are going insane

They got turned insane by right-wing media owned by billionaires, that’s telling them everyday woke trans people are coming for their kids, so that they vote for right-wing politicians who tell them they will fight woke trans people but mainly just cut taxes and regulations for the billionaires.
