Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, at centre of Olympics gender row, files legal complaint over online harassment

The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment.

Imane Khelif’s lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.

On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: “All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world.”

What weight class did she win? I’m ignorant to Olympic boxing.

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.”

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

against who tho? 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

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?

kbin_space_program ,

He did nothing other than get a silver medal with his partner.
But my suspicion is that he's being used as s dog whistle meme. Because its a White-passing guy not using special gear, often being contrasted against an asian woman who is using special glasses.

hemko ,

Eh, you’re overanalyzing it. He became meme over his vibes, nothing to discredit the righteous winner.

The world loves when something unexpected happens

4am ,

I think both can be true. I’ve seen some shitty posts using him too; although you are correct that the main impetus was his casual AF vibe

a White-passing guy

Not sure what that means. He looked like a pretty typical Turkish person. His skin isn’t even especially pale.

Turks aren’t Arabs. He’s as “white-passing” as Erdogan.

The IBA if there’s any real justice.

Against them, apparently
