    I think it’s because they think the trans woman still has biologically male factors that make the competition not a competition.

      There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it’s basically because they don’t see her as attractive, and that’s definitely a major component of it.

      What it comes down to is that they’re so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.

      They think she’s not fuckable and therefore she’s not a woman. All the proof I need is the literal fact that she’s not trans.

        Yeah fair enough. I looked her up on Wikipedia and verified. However she failed sex eligibility test in 2023 IBA.

        Khelif had been disqualified by the IBA hours before the gold medal match in 2023, reportedly for having high levels of testosterone.

          Worth noting that the IBA is not considered credible by the IOC, is considered highly influenced by Russian corruption, and that this failure came just after she defeated a Russian.

          Also, despite whatever tests she may have failed in the past, she passed eligibility tests to compete in these Olympics.
