    We got to where we are because sports bodies and morons aren’t all that big on language

    firstly they have women and men’s sports - which is gender and not sex

    then they struggle with sex anyway

    in this case - well?

    Imane Khelif is a female athlete. She is an Algerian boxer competing in the women's boxing category at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite facing controversy regarding her gender eligibility, Khelif was born female and does not publicly identify as transgender. The discussions around her participation stem from past disqualifications related to gender tests, but she remains registered as female on her official documents[1][2][3][5].
