Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who identifies as intersex, gained popularity during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Imane faced intense criticism and bullying over a gender controversy. However, the athlete went on to win gold in the women’s 66 kg boxing.
Recently, Imane took to social media to share a glam transformation video where she is seen in a floral pink ensemble and elegant makeup. However, the video comes with a deeper message regarding the gender controversy. It conveys the message that Imane never felt the need to conform to the world’s beauty standards.
She was too busy and focused on winning the gold medal. Through the transformation, she is not trying to fit into the cookie cutter mould. She can instead choose to be feminine and elegant whenever she wants.
She adds that just like a moustache does not define a man, in the same way, dresses and extensions do not define a woman. Netizens are loving her transformation. Here’s how they are reacting.
