Thanks for the info, didn't know that.

But doesn't change the fact that Kirk's post, done August 2024, was done based on rumors and looks not evidence.

No problem. Regarding Kirk's tweet, at that point (early August) it was already well established that the IBA had disqualified Khelif (and another boxer, Lin) from their women's tournaments for ineligibility due to failing a sex test. They hadn't released specifics due to medical confidentiality but it wasn't a rumour and even though Khelif appears male it wasn't about looks.
