Why the fuck do people feel the need to so thoroughly attack her.

Oh, right, probably just insecurity.

A lot of it is queerphobia because "I know one when I see one."

Which is how cishet women are also victims of it.

It's weaponized bigotry. The right needs to create an imaginary enemy for their culture war. Also racism.

Because she doesn’t adhere to western beauty standards and she beat up a white girl who does.

Just look at all the women in sports who were forced to undergo a gender test. The vast majority of them are not white.

Also that white girl had no place in the ring, she was severely over classed by Khelif. After the match she was crying how she never had that kind of beating she received from Khelif in the ring before. She was insinuating that Khelif was a man.

To be fair, she apologized for that. She was an adult about it and owned up to it.

Good for her and good luck to her.

Good for Imane.

I wish that some uber geek could/would force every one of these self-righteous idjits to dox themselves, so that when Imane wins that case they can all be charged with and sued for harrassment.
