Still a bit wild when you think about it: she comes from a religion that's against it, a country that's both against it and has it illegal, and she has no desire to change gender. Yet they all are saying she is.

Yeah these "we can always tell" people are fucking brain dead apparently.
Transphobia is a mental illness
If we infiltrate their online spaces to start talking about how "I'm transvestigating myself in case I am secretly trans!!!", I'm sure some of these deluded idiots will start copying. It's all an echo-chamber of fads.
The same people that did not know Liberace or Elton John were gay.
I think those who still insists Imane is a man are doubling down because they can't admit that they were wrong. Their ego is wounded. I saw some claims that, apparently, the Algerian government wilfully overlooked or changed Imane's gender. As if that would ever happen for reasons you mentioned.
The Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu Ting who was also DQed by the IBA with no evidence also won gold. Her coach thanked JK Rowling, saying “most people probably didn’t know or care about women’s boxing. Now the whole world knows Yu Ting and Taiwan and that she is a champion.”
damn thats dropping hotter than a mixtape
This controversy has done wonders for women's boxing.
against who tho? looks like the whole global far right was against her
Against those who started this harassment campaign: the IBA. Those russian assholes began this with their falss evidence.
Wouldnt be surprised.
Equally, wouldnt be surprised at them being behind that Turkish shooter who didnt use the special glasses.
Even though: it was a pairs event and he had a partner(who was using the glasses) and he wasnt the only person not using them.
What'd the Turkish guy do, aside from not wearing glasses and looking extremely casual?
looks like the whole global far right was against her
Lock 'em up!
More seriously - I'd bet it's not all that hard to trace back to the first person who made the online claim of her being trans. Maybe that person and/or a related platform that refused to take down the misinformation?
And for the record, I support her rights as a woman even if she had been trans. (And will spend 0 seconds of time arguing with anyone here about why.)
I mean she has Man right there in her first name and He in her last name I see how someone would be confused. /S
The IBA if there's any real justice.
All that is being said about me on social media is immoral.
I worry that with the country she's from, that she's referring to being trans as immoral, and not the baseless accusations.
Its interesting that being called trans seems to be the new being called gay.
It's because currently being gay is more accepted than not in western countries, you don't generate controversy with that you just expose yourself for being an asshole, well trans are not yet accepted to that degree
What weight class did she win? I’m ignorant to Olympic boxing.
66kg, or 145.5lbs "junior welterweight" if your country went to the Moon.
I hope she wins and gets justice.
