Khelif is on the cover of Vogue Arabia‘s November 2024 issue. For the cover, she is dressed all in black and has her hair slicked back.

In one image she is wearing a large, black leather jacket, and in the other she is wearing a women’s suit. And I can say: she looks great!

“Imane Khelif: Knockout of a Champion,” reads the headline.

“Despite winning the gold medal, that one event felt like a lifetime,” Khelif says of the transphobic hate in the cover story. “The experiences were many and varied within one isolated incident. I was able to overcome it all thanks to my faith in God, in myself and my dream. Without such challenges I would never have become a champion.”

Khelif, a female boxer from Algeria, was competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris when a report from a disgraced Russian boxing authority was recirculated – the document claiming Khelif had failed to pass an unspecified ‘gender certificate’ suitability test’ without providing evidence.

Around the world, transphobes, TERFS and racists were quick to jump on the rumors and falsely claim that Khelif was a man who had competed in the Olympics so ‘he’ could beat up women.

But Khelif was born a girl, grew up a girl, and has never identified as anything other than a cisgender woman.

She overcame hatred, as did all her opponents, and won the gold medal in boxing. Since the end of the Olympics, Khelif has filed an online harassment complaint against several public figures such as Elon Musk and JK Rowling.

Now she is one too Fashion cover model. We stand!
