“Return to normalcy,” another person remarked. Given the ongoing discussion around the sanctity of certain all-female competitions, the most of the replies seemed to have been offered in jest.
I think of the controversy surrounding Algerian fighter Imane Khelif, who won a gold medal, and transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, who is now well-known for her association with Bud Light.
Khelif was mistakenly classified as transgender by far-right groups, whereas Mulvaney was born a guy but has subsequently changed to a female identity.
Khelif was excluded from the 2023 world championships after failing vague and obvious eligibility checks, despite the fact that her passport states that she was designated female at birth.
