WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Saturday again decried two gold medalist Olympic athletes, falsely labeling the female boxers as men.
Trump made the comments while speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania and pledging to “keep men out of women’s sports,” turned his attention to the recently concluded Olympic Games and the case of two athletes who became the subject of international scrutiny regarding misconceptions about their gender.
Trump has long criticized transgender people as part of his rallies and focused specifically on transgender athletes, using language about gender identity that LGBTQ+ advocates say is wrong and harmful.
In the case of the two boxers, both Imane Khelif of Algeria and Li Yu-ting of Taiwan have faced misconceptions about their gender created by the fallout from the Olympic-banished International Boxing Association’s decision last year to disqualify both fighters from the world championships for allegedly failing an eligibility test.
Despite being born and raised as women, Khelif and Lin found themselves in the crosshairs of Western debates about gender, sex and sports after failing the unspecified and untransparent eligibility tests for women’s competition from the now-banned International Boxing Association.
Trump and other prominent figures have complained about Khelif being allowed to compete and Trump has previously referred to Khelif as a man.
On Saturday, he did so again and in describing both athletes competing in the games as “crazy” and said, “It’s so demeaning to women.”

Trump was right! Why do the media and the democrats hate real women so much?
These fake women are mentally disturbed men.
AP is falsely claiming men are women.
Imane Khelif of Algeria and Li Yu-ting of Taiwan have faced misconceptions about their gender
“Misconceptions” interesting word choice that could be instantly cleared up if they show us their penis’.
The left trusts the science except when it comes to chromosomes.
...using language about gender identity that LGBTQ+ advocates say is wrong and harmful....
But, is it scientifically correct, Ass Press??
I identify as a billionaire. The bank is discriminatory and illegally refusing to honor the checks I write! I demand justice!
XY chromosomes = men you AP retards. It will never be otherwise.
Those two dudes should fight each other.
Despite being born and raised as women, Khelif and Lin
Wait ... what?
They were both born as biological women???
“Trump again decries two gold medalist Olympic athletes, falsely labeling the female boxers as men”
AP should know “falsely” when they see it.
Exactly. Where do they get off saying both ‘born as women’??
Each had XY chromosomes.
They are males.
Chromosomes make stubborn facts.
WRONG. They were born as male with XY chromosomes. The AP stooge obviously knows this and is lying, otherwise there would be zero controversy. Yes, they have a genetic defect which produced female genetalia, but going by that logic, every man with nipples should then be able to compete as a woman.
The original Olympus were naked. Then we’d know.
IMHO DJT will get no traction, attract no new voters with this line of argument. In this case DJT is only preaching to the choir. He will fail in the fight on this particular issue due to the MASSIVE pressure the media and social bots can bring to bear.
AP falsely labels XY chromosome men Olympians with elevated testosterone levels that were disqualified by the IBA last year from boxing women as women.
What does the genetic tests (x,y) and the testosterone levels in the blood say?
What happened to “follow the science”?
