1. This "controversy" shows what a mess the anti-trans movement is

Anti-trans people like to say "it's about the gametes and genitals."

Khelif has eggs, ovaries, a uterus and a female reproductive system.

Transphobes would demand that she use the woman's bathroom because "she is a woman and you cannot change genders."

But they're also demanding she be disqualified from the Olympics because "she is a man."

Which is it, kids? Because if "she is a man," she would be "a man who can get pregnant"... Which transphobes also loudly shout is impossible.

Basically, their entire movement comes down to "I know it when I see it," and would change Khelief's gender in different situations based on the outcomes they want in that situation. Ironic, given their cult-like "you can't change your gender" worldview.
