When I came across content from the right I thought it was a typical case of a trans woman competing against biological women. Wrong.
When I read Wikipedia and watched a Daily Show clip (both left wing) I thought that the right was making up lies because apparently Khelif is a biological woman, grew up as one, always competed as one etc. Wrong.
The truth is far more complicated it seems, and actually the 100% truth is not available to anyone commenting online. Khelif failed a gender test at the IBA World Champs last year, but then some are arguing the testing process was flawed and motivated by Russian leadership. So there's clearly smoke, but no conclusive evidence one way or the other.
It's all so tiresome 😩
