      Rowling was transvesigating and racist fearmongering and misgendering the cis woman on X

        The sad thing is despite being a cop, the Italian boxer hasn't actually said anything bad about her opponent (that I've read so far). In fact, she respects her and "hasn't ever been hit so hard in her life" lol. But transphobic X hijacked this story to transvestigate her opponent and it makes them all look bad.

          Carini was openly disrespecting Khelif at first, but after sleeping on it she’s apologetic about being a sore loser and for the disrespect.

          Also the IBA president who started the XY lie is now offering Khelif 100,000 if she wins a gold medal. He’s more to blame for the whole sitch because he’s mad the IOC kicked him out and is doing this to troll.

            Ah that's right. I tuned in to the drama late, after the apologies and stuff already came out. But competition is intense at that level, emotions run high, so I get it. The important part is the opinions after sleeping on it imo.

            As for the IBA President, he sounds like a piece of work. I had no idea the IBA was kicked out of the Olympics. How did I miss that? Not sure what that means now though since they clearly do have boxing. I'm reading up on that drama now lol.
