Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has admitted to being a man. Every legacy media outlet that “fact checked” to his defense got it wrong in service of the transgender movement.

Khelif, who won a gold medal in women’s boxing at the 2024 Olympics, admitted in an interview that he has the SRY gene found in men. The most obvious explanation for Khelif failing genetic tests without being obviously transgender was that he had a Disorder of Sexual Development, which is what Khelif confirmed in the interview. He was raised as a girl because the circumstances of his birth were not entirely clear, just as they were with former Olympic runner Caster Semenya.
