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.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

She was told by her coach not to compete. I have high doubts that a olympic boxer would give up because her nose hurt after getting punched. And she was granted an "abandoned" verdict instead of defeat. This is obviously intentional melodrama to make her seem like a victim and so she doesn't officially lose. Other women have fought Khelif and won. It's almost comical how obvious this is an example of white women crocodile tears, especially egregious when it's an olympic boxer doing it.
what does that mean, surely she'd still be eliminated or whatever happened with a defeat in the tournament structure, right? does it save face in official records?
I just don't buy this. She wouldn't shake hands, she said after the fight that "the IOC will judge" several times, which sounds to me like trying to stoke the controversy and imply that if the IOC don't overturn it then she doesn't think it's valid.
Also she's a cop from a family of cops.
this seems kinda ungrounded; like just spillover anger from the people using this to be shitty
Edited the crying bit out
