    Is this an “Air Bud Rule” thing?

    Also, we have no idea if Khelif is biologically male. We have one corrupt Russian official saying “well maybe.”

      We actually do have a pretty good indicator that she’s biologically female - the fact that her home country, where she still lives, would’ve jailed her if they figured out she was a trans woman before they sent her to the Olympics. Algeria doesn’t allow gender transitioning in any way, and they can and do imprison people who live as a gender other than the one they were born as.

        You clearly can’t convince people. Because they just move on to “even if she is biologically female…”
