Imane Khelif is a born woman, not a man: Chinmayi Sripaada defends Algerian boxer against ‘global trolling’
The renowned singer, social media active on ray, and a women’s right activist is Chinmayi Sripaada, who has come out in Imane Khelif ‘s defence.

Chinmayi posted a picture from Imane’s childhood and wrote on X, “Imane Khelif is BORN WOMAN. She is NOT a man. *The right to change their gender is illegal and banned in Algeria, the country she represents. * Indians have harassed and harangued Shanthi Soundarrajan, a brilliant sportswoman, just because she didn’t look the way they want a woman to look.
Imane has been criticized by such people as JK Rowling, the bestselling British author who wrote the Harry Potter books. She posted the photo of Imane with Angela Carini after the fight and typed on X, “Could any picture capture our new men’s rights movement more? The smug look of a male who knows that he has the backing of a sexist athletic federation to relish in the suffering of a woman whose dreams he just knocked out cold.”
Chinmayi too retaliated to JK Rowling by re-tweeting Imane’s childhood picture. In the caption, she stated, “How heroes fall. Someone show J K Rowling this photo. I am pretty sure Rowling will have no remorse for what she has globally unleashed on Imane because she belongs to a religion, and race the standard white person doesn’t like.”
The International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams spoke on Friday stating that Imane Khelif was born as a female, was registered a female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female and possessed a female passport. Adams said, “I would not want us to suddenly turn it into some kind of a witch hunt”.
