Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting are also biologically male

This is a lie. Wikipedia links to no fewer than 3 sources that confirm this is a lie. I will be blocking you.

"Those cheering fans have embraced Khelif throughout her run in Paris even as she faced an extraordinary amount of scrutiny from world leaders, major celebrities and others who have questioned her eligibility or falsely claimed she was a man." -- https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/algerian-boxer-imane-khelif-fights-for-olympic-gold-after-enduring-abuse-fueled-by-misinformation

'The participation of Algeria's Khelif and Taiwan's Lin has proved controversial given they were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships.

"Let's be very clear, we are talking about women's boxing," said Bach at Saturday's daily IOC briefing.

"We have two boxers who are born as a woman, who have been raised as a woman, who have a passport as a woman and who have competed for many years as a woman.

"This is the clear definition of a woman. There was never any doubt about them being a woman."' -- https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/c28e88jdprno

'Khelif and a second boxer, Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, fell foul of IBA eligibility rules [...].

[...] a March 2023 IBA board meeting stated that "the athletes do not meet one of the eligibility criteria", without stating which one.' -- https://www.reuters.com/sports/olympics/who-is-algerian-boxer-imane-khelif-2024-08-03/
