From what I gather, she was born a woman and has always identified as a woman. There is no public concrete evidence that argues otherwise. She is therefore not trans. Still, the International Boxing Committee disqualified her and another boxer for failing a gender eligibility test, though they didn’t specify on what grounds. Then, another Olympian got their ass handed to them, so they said it was unfair that Khelif was able to participate. what???
Ironically, if there is absolutely no evidence that Khelif is trans, then by their own standards, the ones hurting gender-based fairness in sports are the transphobes.
The IBC has been suspended by the IOC for corruption and match fixing and Khelif and Yu Ting were only disqualified from the world championships after Khelif beat a Russian boxer who was then advanced in her place.
Ironically, the corrupt Russian president was elected based partially on promises of reform to fix the governance and finance issues that prompted the IBC’s 2019 suspension.

The International Boxing Committee was taken over by a Russian oligarch & the the first disqualified boxer defeated a Russian boxer.
Dude, Russia is straight up a country ran by bullies. O’Doyle rules!
