"I was born a girl, I grew up a girl, I studied as a girl and I fought like a girl. Those who attacked me? Of course, they were enemies of glory. But, without them, my victory would not have been so satisfying."

"The manufactured controversy surrounding Khelif reveals far more than just misplaced concerns about fairness in women's sports. It exposes a deeper, more insidious agenda that uses the guise of 'protecting women' to reinforce traditional gender roles, control women's bodies, and provide convenient scapegoats for those pushing a regressive social agenda."

Comic panels.

The first panel shows Angela Carini. The text reads "They say this woman's dreams were "crushed because of a trans woman."

The second panel shows Imane Khelif. The text reads "The boxer she was competing against isn't trans at all. Khelif represents Algeria, where transitioning is illegal. She may be intersex, like about 1.7% of the population. Either way, she was found to be eligible by the strict intersex-phobic and transphobic International Olympic Committee.

The remaining panels show a boxing ring and gloves. The text reads "Her father forbade her from boxing as a kid because she was a girl. Her story is empowering, and inspirational and should be celebrated. Yet the whole world is now making her life hell. What about HER dreams? And when will this world simply allow intersex and trans people to dream?

An aspect of the Imane Khelif brouhaha that deserves careful attention is the role that the Russian International Boxing Association played in setting up the conditions for the transphobic outrage that we've witnessed.

it's well-documented that Khelif was raised female, considered female in the very conservative, anti-LGBTQ culture of Algeria, and has always competed as a female boxer.
