Original Note:
Imane Khelif is not transgender. X users keep saying that Khelif has XY chromosomes, but this is based on a previous disqualification by the IBA, which is no longer in the IOC and in fact never said Khelif had XY chromosomes. "This is not a transgender case" per IOC. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/what-is-the-iba-governing-body-behind-olympic-boxing-storm-has-russian-ties-troubled-history https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2024/08/02/imane-khelif-fact-check-olympic-boxer/74645341007/ https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12907591/international-olympic-committee-strips-recognition-from-international-boxing-federation
