"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."

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.
