Yes, they won't leave Imane Khelif alone. Just like they wouldn't leave Caster Semenya alone. Even though both are cisgender, they don't fit the feminine.
Which is why gender-division in sport is actually fucking stupid, and a tool of the patriarchy.

I try not to yuck other people's yum, but it is fascinating to me that fans are loyal to ASOIAF after Game of Thrones.
For me, Dunk and Egg, HotD, etc. all lead to the same conclusion: a rape victim murdered by domestic violence cause she brought evil foreigners to Westeros and Bitches Be Crazy.

On trans Bluesky, there are many posts circulating describing Epstein's anti-trans views and ties to prominent transphobes.
Anti-trans politics fit neatly into all of this because the existence of trans people threatens the idea that men are naturally superior to women.

These men hate the left, labor organizing, feminism, #metoo, and human rights movements because all of these are pushing for equality and accountability, presenting a threat to these men's ability to dominate and abuse with impunity.

While I worked the Victoria Bike Valet downtown, I was around a lot of people on a lot of substances. The only ones who ever physically threatened me all smelled of alcohol and had visible signs of alcohol inebriation. One was actually holding a beer can in one hand while his other held a knife.
It's so infuriating to see governments encourage the consumption of the drug most likely to result in violent crime and a whole host of other social problems, while punishing people who use other drugs.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Not to mention ridiculously expensive for society.

She was an inspiration, a titan of Canada and Comedy, unmatched in her sense of timing, built an encyclopedic range of diversity and scope of roles, and she will be terribly missed.
