New Delhi: Singer Chinmayi Sripaada, known for her vocal views on social media and as a woman\u2019s rights activist, has spoken in favour of Imane Khelif. The Algerian boxer is being trolled for participating in and dismantling her opponent in a woman\u2019s boxing match at Paris Olympics despite failing failing unspecified and untransparent eligibility tests for women\u2019s competition from the now-banned International Boxing Association last year.<\/p>\n
Chinmayi shared a childhood picture of Imane and wrote on X, \u201cImane Khelif is BORN WOMAN. She is NOT a man. *The right to change their gender is illegal and banned in Algeria, the country she represents.* Indians have harassed and harangued Shanthi Soundarrajan, a brilliant sportswoman, just because she didn\u2019t look the way they expect a woman to look. I hope Imane is OK. She is going through global bullying and it looks horrific. This is Imane Khelif as a child.\u201d<\/p>\n
JK Rowling, bestselling British author who wrote the Harry Potter books, was one of those who criticised the participation of Imane in a woman\u2019s boxing match. She shared a picture of Imane with her opponent Angela Carini after the match and wrote on X, \u201cCould any picture sum up our new men\u2019s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who\u2019s knows he\u2019s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he\u2019s just punched in the head, and whose life\u2019s ambition he\u2019s just shattered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chinmayi also responded to JK Rowling by resharing Imane\u2019s childhood picture. She wrote in the caption, \u201cHow heroes fall. Someone show J K Rowling this photo. I am pretty sure Rowling will have no remorse for what she has globally unleashed on Imane because she belongs to a religion and race the standard white person doesn\u2019t like.\u201d<\/p>\n

The International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams said Friday that Imane Khelif \u201cwas born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.\u201d He warned \u201cnot turn it into some kind of witch hunt.\u201d<\/p>\n
