At this point, Brianda Cruz, who had previously lost to Khelif, sees weirdos online talking about how Khelif is trans, and tries to get in on the grift, but it doesn't really pan out for her as pressure from Mexican queer activists pushed the media to actually investigate her claim
Brianda Cruz's claim reappears in an article by the terf publication Reduxx last week, which, as Ky Schevers (npub1969…98kr) has said, seems to be the ground zero for the English language discourse about Khelif's alleged trans status
After that point, the British media and political classes, entirely captured by hate groups at this point, start repeating the claim irresponsibly
The Italian government, particularly Deputy Prime Minister Salvini, also starts promoting the claim nonstop prior to Carini's match with Khelif, which either freaked her out enough to quit or encouraged her to throw the match and try to win after Khelif gets disqualified (hard to tell which it was, this is another point where we need more investigation)
Anyways, Khelif is set to go up against Hungary tomorrow, which, given their government, will surely be just as bad as everything we've seen until now
