I did? Please show me where I said I was against due process? I know that there are exceptions in the law that exist for *certain* circumstances, but that's it.

Rape and crimes against children happen in remote places or small towns even in this country and people get away with it. Does that mean it is an acceptable thing? We had child brides and sexual assault occurring in my state for decades in a remote town before anybody tried to do anything about it. And up until Khelif was in the last Olympics, I hadn't heard anything about her. She competed in Tokyo, and at several other events with no incident. I don't follow boxing that much, so maybe that's why. -
Trump had due process. I would even say the court gave him a lot of latitude during his criminal case.

You're comparing two different things. Iran and most other majority Muslim countries also have laws against being gay. Iran's president once said gay people don't exist in Iran. Obviously he's wrong, and there are gay people everywhere. Iran executed somebody who did something like what you described, by throwing them off a cliff. But do you think any of these countries would allow an openly gay or transgender person to compete for them in the Olympics? That would be a huge embarrassment and it wouldn't be allowed. https://iranhr.net/en/articles/81/ -
Trump is an undocumented immigrant?

It says right at the bottom for "certain" undocumented immigrants. Not all. It makes sense there would be a way to do that, like if somebody had been convicted of a crime, or there was some other issue.

Again no. I've explained how this is implausible and unlikely to the point of being next to impossible under Algerian law. Under Algerian laws you cannot switch your gender on your official legal documents. So if Khelif were born a man, she could not get a passport or any other ID with a different gender on it. Algeria also does not allow gender affirming care, or medical procedures that do that. So if Khelif were born a man and tried to make the switch, it would be found out pretty quickly and there would be consequences. Like going to prison. But suppose that Khelif just simply ignored the fact it was illegal and did it anyway? The Algerian government would have found out and there is very little chance they would allow a transgender person, something that is not only illegal but extremely looked down upon in their society, compete in the Olympics for their country. I don't think it is likely or even a plausible idea somebody would break a long-standing law in such a public and open way, that would almost certainly guarantee getting caught, severely punished and ostracized from society. -

Apparently you're stupid then. A country where it is illegal to be transgender, where you are not allowed to change your gender, and where doing any of these things will land you in jail or prison, is not going to send a person who violates their laws to multiple Olympics and world championship events. If she was truly a biological male, none of this would have happened and "he" would be unhappily making big rocks into smaller ones, if not have already been executed in some grim way. Once this became an issue, if Algeria's government even had the slightest idea Khelif wasn't a woman, some very bad things would have happened to her, her family and anyone else around for embarrassing Algeria internationally. -

Wonder why he hasn't said anything about it. -

Again. Being transgender is against the law in Algeria. As in if you attempt to change your gender or go by the opposite gender you were born, you will go to jail. -

Algeria has laws against that. Being gay in Algeria can get you thrown in jail or prison. I doubt they're going to be understanding of anything transgender. Much less allow somebody who is to represent them in the Olympics multiple times. I wonder why nobody said anything about Khelif until she won an Olympic gold and not in the 10 years prior she competed internationally. -
I never heard of that, but that's sad. I know about frequent fliers who try to get pills for minor issues. I had to go to the ER years ago because I really strained a muscle badly, thought it might have torn, and asked for ibuprofen only. They said usually people come in wanting "the good stuff".

I don't like them. I had to have inpatient surgery on my foot a few years ago. That was not pleasant and I was practically begging to go home as soon as I came back from the anesthesia.

You really believe a conservative Muslim country is going to let that happen?
