In the same time they're claiming Algeria is woke and sent a trans woman, they also claim Algerians are backwards who beat up women.

I'm so fucking tired of this discourse, besides the very obvious transphobia that the Brits love, at this point it's thinly veiled sexism that the only women competing should be visibly stereotypically feminine. Which you know, runs counter to the required muscle mass to compete in these sports. Then you've got the factor that the women targeted in these tirades are often times POC so it's checking even more bigotry boxes.

With their collapsing economy and lack of import in global politics, the purpose of TERF island appears to be acting as a bigotry factory exporting their shit takes to the rest of the world.

And probably a heaping scoop of racism on top. I feel like TERFs are always jumping to make trans accusations towards cisgender women of color.
