I'm seeing many people online celebrating Imane Khelif's gold medal as some kind of triumph against hateful conservatives who can't accept that "strong, masculine" women exist.
Let's say the infamous boxers turn out to be true blue XX females. I'm willing to be wrong if proven to be so. Zero good proof has been offered though.
Strong, masculine women exist. Women with DSDs exist. Women with bodies outside the expected norms exist. But they're not male. Passport markers and shady birth certificates are not enough to convince me when doubts have been raised.
