Claim by numerous conservative figures and outlets:

Imane Khelif is not female and should be barred from the Olympics.

ByMedia Bias Fact Check

Reasoning:

Imane Khelif is considered female based on several key points:

Birth Assignment: Khelif was assigned female at birth. This is an important factor in gender identity and categorization in sports.
Official Documentation: Her passport and other legal documents identify her as female. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) uses the passport designation to determine eligibility for female categories in boxing.
Competition History: Khelif has competed in women’s boxing categories throughout her career without issues related to her gender identity until the recent controversy about her testosterone levels.
Disqualification Context: The disqualification from the 2023 world championships was due to high testosterone levels, not because of a change in gender identity or a transition. The disqualification has been criticized for its lack of transparency and due process.
Statements and Representation: There is no record or evidence indicating that Khelif is a trans athlete. Her career and identity have consistently been aligned with being female.

Fact or Fiction?

Fiction. Imane Khelif is recognized as female according to her birth assignment and official documents. There is no evidence to suggest she is a trans athlete.
