Misidentification and Media Responsibility
This chapter explores a major newspaper's misidentification of boxer Iman Khalif as transgender, leading to a formal apology and highlighting the media's role in shaping societal attitudes towards transgender identities. It critiques political figures' responses to trans issues, particularly focusing on Ron DeSantis and Trump, and their influence on public discourse. Additionally, the chapter discusses the historical context of gender testing in sports and argues that current debates about trans athletes often distract from broader issues of trans rights and participation.
