The Spin

Right narrative

Originally meant to be a celebration of excellence, the Olympics have turned into a horror show as non-biological women have been allowed to fight biological women. This case may inevitably be a bit more complicated than those of transgender athletes, but Khelif must be banned due to an unfair advantage that risks the safety of her opponents.

Left narrative

Anti-trans activists were quick to attack Khelif, a cisgender woman taking part in the women's welterweight boxing competition at the Paris Olympics, paying little attention to the fact that she had competed at Tokyo 2020 without any commotion. Yes, she has a genetic advantage over her rivals — just like most world-class athletes.
