I guess the thing that frustrates me the most about Imane Khelif Discourse is that there's been very little investigation into the gender test applied by the IBA in 2023; talking about intersexuality (in the abstract) or trans women in sports (in the abstract) is mostly irrelevant, we need to see what happened in this particular case
And in this case, it *seems* that Khelif had taken a gender test, passed, then had it administered again when she won against a Russian boxer in a 2023 tournament organized by the IBA (whose president is very close to Putin), and then somehow she mysteriously failed, imagine that
That this was simply a case of the oldest tradition in boxing (match fixing), but one updated for twenty-first-century cultural wars
