Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, “This is not a transgender issue.”

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or “woke” politics are without basis.

    Well dang. It seems like corporate news could have done this right off the bat.

    FOR SOME REASON they didn’t. Huh. Weird.

      Even the BBC mentioned it in the first article I saw about this.

      I’m still not surprised to see all the social media things, like JKKK Rowling sharing their usual slop.
