Imane Khelif can’t help but be iconic after her recent Paris Olympics 2024 win. Khelif’s unrecognizable feminine makeover pushes the gender row even further. The debates aside, the Algerian boxer enjoys the fruits of her labor. Imane Khelif beat Yang Liu to win the gold medal.
Amid the struggles of the boxing gender war, she became the second gold medalist boxer out of Algeria after Hocine Soltani in 1996. Her Paris Olympics run has been one for ages, with her not forfeiting a single point throughout. However, she came under fire when Italy’s Angela Carini quit just under 46 seconds in her opening bout, fearing her power.
The Russian-backed IBA had stripped her of bronze in the 2023 World Championship medals. Khelif has failed the gender eligibility testing pool due to traces of XY chromosomes. However, the results of such alleged hormonal imbalances were never made public. The IOC ad-hoc Boxing Unit rules ripped such arbitrary sex tests and registered her for the games as a cisgender female. However, prominent anti-trans group proponents jumped the gun on calling her out as a trans.
After overcoming hatred to win at the Paris Olympics 2024, Khelif continues to hit back at critics who question her gender. The latest blow comes in the form of a glammed video shared on Beauty Code’s Instagram page. If nothing else, it should put a rest to ripping her semblance to that of an apparent woman. As such, the video has gone quite viral.
Netizens take notice of Imane Khelif’s makeover
Paris Olympics 2024 has been full of controversies to no end. The opening ceremony received hate for apparent anti-Christian agendas, and the drone incident caused much chaos. To cap it all off, there’s the IOC’s radical decision to include a niche subculture like break dancing in the Olympics and Aussie underdog Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn receiving hate for it. The Australian fanbase has even signed a petition to hold her ‘accountable for unethical conduct’ after her performance.
Nothing has been as controversially hard-hitting as the social abuse of misidentifying cisgender Imane Khelif. There have been those like actor Michele Morrone, boxer Claressa Shields, and UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya who have apologized for the misconceptions. Some, though, still continue the debate of her being a trans-boxer. Here’s how fans have reacted to her jaw-dropping blow with a feminine makeover.
Some have consequently lauded her new outlook. Others have said it’s sad she needed to do it in the first place, accessorizing with floral tops and matching earrings with the Olympic gold medal. Yet a few others have maintained that this is a PR push to bolster her new lawsuit. All in all, the matter will remain viral for a hot minute.
