Right? If she was obese her “masculine features” would be better hidden with fat I would assume. But because she’s stayed in shape relevant to her sport of choice, those features are more prominent. God forbid she actually enjoy her life and be healthy… Poor girl…

Oh don’t worry, the trolls were calling her obese as well.

Ilona Maher does this great TikTok where she responds to these comments. My favourite part was when she said, "I'm going to the Olympics and you're not!" I was like, "You go, lady!"

The one where she was crying broke my heart.

Came here to say this. She's definitely a woman but also definitely roided out of her mind. Testosterone jaw like no other.

No judgement. Most of them are on the juice.

Well, listen, the attacks suck, but before you go saying “poor girl”, she’s quite possibly most popular Olympian from these Olympics, and she’s racking in $$$$$ Lots and lots of sponsorships, on top of having an Olympic medal. If you follow her social media you’ll realize she is enjoying her life to the fullest, as she should be, surrounded by people who know she’s a great role model.
