🇩🇿 A deeper look if the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is trans. Answering requests from my Algerian followers I dug in a bit, so here’s we know: 1) Algeria is a Muslim country without LGBT rights, hence they would never send a trans to represent them. 2) The Algerian understanding is that Imane has is hyperandrogenism, what causes heightened testosterone levels 3) Imane lost 9 fights and had 4 draws out of 50 during years, so there are women who can win against Imane. 4) Imane was disqualified from last year's world championships for failing gender-eligibility tests, due to XY chromosomes. "Based on the results of DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to deceive their colleagues and pretended to be women. Based on the results of the tests, it was proven that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from the competition” 4) Rosario Coco, the president of the Gaynet communications association: "In contrast to the reports that have been circulating, the Algerian athlete Imane Khelif is not a trans woman. From the information we have about her, she is an intersex person, who has always socialized as a woman and has a sporting history in women's competitions". -> So as far as I understand, Imane is not gay, nor trans, but she’s intersex, so born as a woman with male chromosomes, hence the high testosterone and appearance. Genetically Imane is a man though. Of course it’s not Imane’s fault and Imane did not consciously changed her gender from man to woman, that’s just how she is. Likely Imane did not even knew the about that until recently. -> So this is morally an important factor! Now the question, if Imane should compete against biological women, is another. Imane is biologically mostly a man (intersex, as in between sexes), that maybe is upsetting to some but it is true, unless the International Boxing Association is spreading lies about the DNA test they did. -> To be fair, Imane is not an unstoppable monster like the memes portray her now. Imane record is: 50 fights 37 victories 9 defeats 4 draws So, there are women out there who can beat Imane. Now decide for yourself.
