    Well, there is Imane Khelif. There was a push to bar her from boxing. But that kind of thing happens very rarely.

      The push to ban her was because of a conspiracy theory that she wasn’t actually born female, wasn’t it? I think that puts her in to the “ban because she’s trans” category, rather than the “ban her for superior genetics” category. Ie, without the current “trans sports panic” no one would have even considered banning her.

        I think the reason they were accusing her of being trans was just because she’s naturally a good boxer.
