Oh wow, the Daily Mail - what a reputable source /s
That test was conducted by the IBC, which is now a discredited organisation, because Khelif defeated the Russian champion and Russia’s government owned Gazprom is the only sponser of the IBC, so she was disqualified based on the results of a test taken 2 years prior which she passed at the time and now “magically” DIDN’T pass, allowing the IBC to overturn her victory and the Russian champion remained officially “undefeated”.
Its an absolute shambles that anyone gives this “test” any credit and just goes to show what people will believe so long as it lines up with their predjudices.
Imane Khelif is a woman, always has been and always will be, her having short hair and strong bone definition doesn’t change that and it is simply misogynistic to suggest that a woman with strong features isn’t a woman just because she doesn’t conform to YOUR idea of beauty.
Caster Semenya was born and raised a woman, has a vagina, and won 2 gold medals as a woman in track and field. Yet she was banned because she’s XY chromosme with male level testosterone and the Track governing body IAAF put clear rules in place for the women’s division. The article has a direct quote with the man named. Seems reputable to me

If the Daily Mail is wrong, why isn’t she suing them?
