The 2024 Olympics initially sparked outrage for its ceremonial attack on Christianity but has attracted additional criticism over the perception that it is now facilitating attacks on women.
The controversy follows two fighters in particular: Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting and Algeria's hulking Imane Khelif — both of whom Blaze News previously reported were disqualified last year from the 2023 Women's Boxing World Championships by the International Boxing Association for allegedly having XY chromosomes. Despite their apparent male sex chromosomes, the International Olympic Committee Paris 2024 Boxing Unit cleared Khelif and Yu-ting to fight women.
On Thursday, Khelif — who some have suggested is actually a hermaphrodite — hammered Italy's Angela Carini hard enough to prompt the 25-year-old Italian to abandon the fight after 46 seconds, break into tears, and fall to her knees.
