Remember the 2024 Wokelympics in Paris and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif… They/them beat the snot out of female boxers during those Olympics, breaking women’s noses, and other facial feature… Well finally, Imane Khelif admits to having the biological male Y chromosome and taking hormone treat to lower testosterone levels… But Khelif denies to being a trans person.
Boxer Imane Khelif admitted to having the SRY gene, located on the Y chromosome which is found in biological males and undergoing hormone treatments to lower testosterone levels ahead of the 2024 Olympics, in an interview with the French sports publication L’Equipe.
Khelif has denied being transgender.
“We all have different genetics, different hormone levels. I’m not transgender. My difference is natural. This is who I am. I haven’t done anything to change the way nature made me. That’s why I’m not afraid,” Khelif said. “I have taken hormone treatments to lower my testosterone levels for competitions.”
Khelif committed to also taking a genetic sex test to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, which is likely to be required.
“For the next Games, if I have to take a test, I will. I have no problem with that, Khelif said.
The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) has released a statement addressing Khelif’s admission.
“Algerian Olympic women’s gold medalist Imane Khelif has now confirmed he is male. With men no longer eligible for Olympic women’s boxing under World Boxing rules, Khelif reportedly plans to box professionally in Europe — though he inexplicably says he will still undergo sex screening for the LA 2028 Games in hopes of competing,” the statement read.
