It should be backwards tho.
"No woman can k*ll me"
"I am no woman."
Transphobes: You can't change your gender from what was assigned at birth. Facts don't care about your feelings.
Also transphobes: a person who was assigned female at birth, was born with a vagina, and raised as a woman in a country that is in no way supportive of its queer population... is not a woman.
If only mental gymnastics were an Olympic event.
Right! It took me all of 10s of seconds searching and a few minutes of reading to find that this was all BS coming out of Putin's friend who runs the boxing organization which was banned by the IOC for shady dealings; and the disqualification for one boxer happened days after she beat a Russian boxer who was undefeated until that fight; and no one has come out to say exactly why both were disqualified.
"Half of the western world being transphobic and swallowing lies about someone's gender is totally exclusively Putin's fault! Every problem with society is due to Russian bots!"
Banned governing body that’s fueling outcry on Olympic boxers has Russian ties and troubled history
Summary-
-
The disqualifications were done in a tournament run by an organization banned by the Olympics.
-
Both boxers participated in tournaments run by this organization with no issues for the last several years.
-
The organization hasn't said why they were disqualified.
-
The man spouting the 'trans woman' claims is the leader of the organization. He's a friend of Putin and described as a drug trafficker.
-
The disqualification for Khelif happened after she beat the previously undefeated Russian boxer Amineva 3 days post fight.
Strangely, nobody who's up in arms about the weird claim has looked into who made it, when, the context around it, or an explanation for it. They just ate it up.
