Italian Olympic boxer apologizes as "transvestigation" against opponent spreads

Salon  

Italian Olympic boxer Angela Carini is standing with Algerian opponent Imane Khelif, a cisgender woman who faced a barrage of attacks from far-right “transvestigators” online. Carini took to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport to issue an apology to Khelif, who defeated her in a 46-second match on Thursday, inciting attacks on the boxer who once failed a now-discredited “gender test” conducted by the International Boxing Association. While former President Donald Trump, VP nominee JD Vance, author JK Rowling, and the rest of the far-right transphobic internet swarm pushed unsubstantiated claims against Khelif, the IOC and others quickly quashed rumors that Khelif, who was born as a woman, was transgender. Critics of the anti-trans movement, including left-wing commentator Hasan Piker, say the incident is emblematic of the extremes that transphobic rhetoric leads to, posing threats of violence even for cisgender women.
