It seems like it's not 100% confirmed as a troon but everyone seems to be rolling with it. I doubt that we'll get a clear answer but the backlash will make a lot of people seethe. Looks like one to me.

When did the mask gotten a woke reboot?
Team USA always promote the most unlikable cunts as national heroes. The Olympic athlete that had real mainstream popularity was Micheal Phelps.

I didn't know they looked at his chromosomes, just thought they did a testosterone test. Figured there was an off chance that he went heavy on the old horse piss.
That's that I suppose lol.

In addition to the other comments about Italian politics, its really important to remember that the IOC are turbo spergs about any athlete doing anything "political" and she risks major consequences if she were to say it was a political action or if the IOC interpreted it as one. By stating it isn't she's covering her ass.

Shit, I’m gonna go beat on some women tonight! Never knew it was that easy!
I don’t know what goddamn test they did on that Algerian tranny, but I strongly doubt that’s a woman!
Come on… Really?! Ffs, look at those shoulders and the size of the head. “She” somehow looks more masculine than some of the pooners who have been on T and LARPing as a man for a decade.

Surprising it took this long for people to get up in arms about the number of trans athletes competing in women's events given that according to the AP there are 193 openly LGBTQ+ athletes competing (an increase from 186 at the 2021 Tokyo games). It would be nice to know how many are the T part of that group but it is probably considered transphobic to ask.

PARIS (AP) — When Charline Van Snick flirted with another female athlete after winning the bronze medal in Judo in the 2012 London Olympic Games, she said her coach told her she needed to stay in the closet for the future of her career.
“It was a moment when I didn’t feel like myself,” the 33-year-old retired Belgian Olympian said. “He said, Charline, you have to fit in the box. Everyone is looking at you and you have to be straight. ... I understood that it’s not a place to be yourself, it’s not a place to be LGBTQ+.”
While the Olympic Games have made giant strides in the years since — the Paris 2024 Olympics set a record for the most athletes who are openly LGBTQ+ — advocates and athletes say international athletics have a long way to go in opening up to the queer community.
There has been outcry from religious groups and others to Friday’s opening ceremony that showcased DJ and producer Barbara Butch — an LGBTQ+ icon — flanked by drag artists and dancers in a scene that critics interpreted as mocking Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” Butch says her lawyer is filing complaints over threats and other abuse she’s faced online following the show.
During the ceremony, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, sent a message in his speech: “In our Olympic world, we all belong.”
Parisian officials kept up their push for inclusion Monday night with the opening of the Olympic Pride House, located on a boat floating on the city’s famous Seine River. French sports minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra told The Associated Press that they were “sending a message of inclusion” in these Games.
“It’s important to Paris, to keep fighting against all types of discrimination,” Oudéa-Castéra said. “We need to drive this progress in society and the reason I am here today is because sport is a very powerful agent to do that.”
Paris Olympics
The Olympic officials’ messages and the record were welcomed by many in the LGBTQ+ community like 31-year-old Matt Clark, among those celebrating the inauguration of the Pride House. Clark said Paris has “started a legacy that is going to continue in other Games.”
“It is going to continue with other athletes and young people everywhere that it is OK to be gay and it is OK to be queer and you have a future in front of you,” Clark said. “Five, 10 years ago, you had coaches telling their athletes don’t come out, it will ruin your career. Now it has become a springboard for people’s careers.”
Clark cited British diver Tom Daley’s rise to celebrity as an example.
The number of openly LGBTQ+ Olympians has skyrocketed in recent decades. Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports, said when they started tracking athletes at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, they counted only around five who were openly LGBTQ+.
“More and more people are coming out,” Buzinski said. “They realize it’s important to be visible because there’s no other way to get representation.”
Van Snick said it took her a long time to be truly comfortable with her own sexuality and that she was really only able to do so when she stepped out of the spotlight.
She noted ongoing debate, an in some cases, exclusion of transgender athletes in Olympic events as disappointing.
“The world has grown since I was an Olympic medalist,” Van Snick said. “But when I think of the trans question, we have a long way to go.”
Still, Buzinski and LGBTQ+ advocates see the Paris Games as an opportunity for athletes who hail from parts of the world where competitors can’t be openly gay because of harsh restrictions on queer populations.
“Coming to Paris, coming to France, they are able to be their true selves,” said Jérémy Goupille, co-chair of the Pride House. The hub for the queer community during the Games debuted at the 2010 Olympics.
Goupille said security concerns remain for many athletes. Dating apps like Grindr, Bumble and Tinder have long been used as a shield for gay athletes who want to connect with other queer people in the countries where they are competing but don’t want to feel publicly exposed.
But he said in previous Games, some have tried to expose athletes who are not officially out by checking heights, weights and locations of people on those apps.
Because of that, Grindr announced that in Paris they have disabled location-based features within the Olympic village where athletes stay and other official Games areas, saying it would allow LGBTQ+ athletes to connect “authentically without worrying about prying eyes or unwanted attention.”
The app made the same decision for the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
“If an athlete is not out or comes from a country where being LGBTQ+ is dangerous or illegal, using Grindr can put them at risk of being outed by curious individuals who may try to identify and expose them on the app,” Grindr said in a statement.
Disabling those features was met with some criticism on social media last week after some users reported problems accessing the app in the Olympic village.
“You have to protect them because so many bad people exist. At the same time, there are so many beautiful athletes,” Goupille said. “They want to meet someone and it’s difficult.”
“It was a moment when I didn’t feel like myself,” the 33-year-old retired Belgian Olympian said. “He said, Charline, you have to fit in the box. Everyone is looking at you and you have to be straight. ... I understood that it’s not a place to be yourself, it’s not a place to be LGBTQ+.”

It's not transphobic, it's "transfatigue" instead.
Btw, I guess some people will hate that rant from American Thinker about Paris.

I dont know if anyone here is old enough to remember the women from East Germany and the USSR competing in the 80ies and 90ies… Women who had been pumped full of testosterone and hormones from before puberty, and ended up dominating swimming and track and field.
Those women looked LESS masculine than this Algerian tranny.
Also: Beware of troon lies about “testosterone numbers”. Trannies typically take hormones to keep their T levels down. It’s bullshit and distraction. It’s not testosterone that makes men competing against women unfair. It’s the fact that (shocker! I know!) they are MEN born with a male physique.

The media and the normies fawned over them for fluking their way to the semis at the last WWC, and wouldn't shut up about them (and they were happy to soak in the attention) in the lead-up to Paris.
People who knew better were rolling their eyes, and as it turns out it was for good reason.
