whether she is or isn't, the way she has been treated (which we also know to have been a very deliberate way for people to just raise general ambient transphobia) has been deeply cruel.
We don't need to dive into people's lives or worry about their future opinions to know this.
She is born and raised in a country where being trans is illegal. She is going to return to that country, and survive in that country. As a woman already more outspoken than many accept.
As important as I see the fight for trans rights, she is not the one who should have to carry the weight of that.
Khelif also has had plenty of opportunity to throw the trans community under the bus, but to the best of my knowledge has not. That speaks well of her! For MANY in her position that would have been the first move.
one of the things I have learned is that *every* group- whether they r members of a dominant population group or non-dominant population share the same prejudices against some other group everyone agrees is "not one of us"

you either learn to support the whole grp aspect of a person that faces suppression & condemn the individual hate aspect they have or you end up throwing out everyone
Bonus, it sounds great in Arabic (local language) AND the language of the imperialist colonists (French), and that is like a triple-word score in terms of bad-ass speeches.
