Inane Khelif is an example of transphobic hysteria getting out of hand. This poor woman is being demonized and accused of “being a man” because these fuckers don’t think she’s pretty or feminine enough. There’s a misogyny angle too.
Women with a certain jaw shape, small breasts, muscular physique, tone of voice, etc. will be deliberately misgendered even if they have lived as cisgender their whole lives.
But in many ways, its nothing new. Girls who are tomboys or have short hair or wear loose jeans and hoodies have always been slandered for not being “girly” enough. It’s just that trans is the current weapon of choice for conservatives looking to bully people.
This isn’t an example of transphobia getting out of hand. This is what it is. Just an excuse to bully people.
It’s gatekeeping femininity. Think — when was the last time a TERF got upset about a cis woman being harassed or beaten-up for using a women’s restroom but appearing too butch? Why aren’t they upset when trans men (that they think are confused women) get beaten up for using the women’s restroom?
Yes she is cis. Conservatives only care about women in sports as long as they turn them on

Jesus. Imagine being this girl. Seriously fuck the people harassing her right now.

The cruelty is the point.
Yep a lot of these “trans-investigations” are an unholy mix of weaponized racism and sexism mixed with wrongly targeted transphobia.
