  • Maybe a silly question but: does anyone know how Imane feels about all of this? I can't imagine the stress she's going through with all the

    having aneurysms about the whole thing on social media rn.

    I don't even think the Italian lady was transphobic, it's literally just chuds freaking the fuck out

    • addressing the second part, Italian lady’s coach/corner guy was respectful. said Khelif is a tough matchup but beatable, they were hoping for an easier fight at this stage but had bad luck, and was surprised Carini conceded. he also mentions that the two have trained together in the past and Carini has a particular dislike for Khelif.

      Carini hasn’t said anything explicitly transphobic and uses correct pronouns, but there are red flags. she says that she does fight men in the ring but she’s never been hit so hard before. she was asked if she thinks the fight was fair and responds ‘that’s for the IOC to decide’. when asked about what people are saying online about Khelif, she just says she doesn’t want to get involved.

      saying that Khelif hits harder than the cis men she’s fought before, Carini seems like despite using the right pronouns and not outwardly dragging Khelif, that she’s trying to make a case for excluding some women from sports for having an unfair advantage.

      She never once acknowledges that Khelif won fairly, or denounces the mask off bigots calling Khelif a man. At best she’s a spineless sore loser willing to be used as a tool for the worst people imaginable to beat trans and intersex people with.

      it’s early and possible that this is a result of being hypercompetitive and still griefstricken and processing getting knocked out after getting so close. seems unlikely but would be great to see some pushback from her against what’s happening.

      • transcription site came up with the following:

        A well-deserved victory. She was trying to take me out of the fight, and thank God I was as prepared as a dreamer should be in all respects.

        The size of the Olympics, the largest international forum in the world, it's a battle in all respects. So we thank the Algerian people and we are still, Inshallah, in the Olympics. We are planning and preparing for the next two fights.

        A fight coming up, Hungary and Australia, we'll watch it in the evening. A meeting regarding this fight and then, Inshallah, it will be a good sign.

        Inshallah, we are Algerian people.

      • God she deserves to win, she's such a good sport and the anti-woke mob attacking her for the crime of winning.
