Khelif was crowned an Olympic champion on Friday after comfortably beating China's Yang Liu by unanimous decision to win gold in the women's welterweight final.
The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment.
Imane Khelif's lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor's Office on Friday.
On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: "All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world."
Still a bit wild when you think about it: she comes from a religion that's against it, a country that's both against it and has it illegal, and she has no desire to change gender. Yet they all are saying she is.
If we infiltrate their online spaces to start talking about how "I'm transvestigating myself in case I am secretly trans!!!", I'm sure some of these deluded idiots will start copying. It's all an echo-chamber of fads.
I think those who still insists Imane is a man are doubling down because they can't admit that they were wrong. Their ego is wounded. I saw some claims that, apparently, the Algerian government wilfully overlooked or changed Imane's gender. As if that would ever happen for reasons you mentioned.
