Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.

On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor’s office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy’s Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had “never felt a punch like this.”

    I never made the claim she had DSD, I stated it’s ambiguous and no one knows, while you’re acting certain you know for sure. I put forward proof of this ambiguity while you put forward zero rebuttal and nonsensical questions like “do you watch female sports?”. You’re trying to avoid all accountability and intellectual dialogue. Have a good one
