"Maher claims that at the most recent Olympics, a boxer who was 'born a man ... beat the dogs**t out of a woman.' This is not true."
"Khelif's Algerian passport also identifies her as female, and Algeria neither legally recognizes trans people nor allows them to change the gender markers on their passports."
"Khelif later said that she has the SRY gene, which is an intersex condition and doesn't negate the fact that she is a cis woman since she was assigned female at birth and identifies as a woman currently."
"Maher says that trans people exist and should be 'protected and respected.'"
Bill Maher made false claims about transgender issues during a conversation with David Cross, specifically regarding boxer Imane Khelif. He inaccurately stated that Khelif, a cisgender woman, was a trans woman who had beaten a female opponent. Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to an unverified sex eligibility test. Despite claims to the contrary, Khelif identifies as female and has an intersex condition. Maher acknowledged the existence of trans people and their right to protection and respect.
