This boxer is physically (morphologically) female.
Genetically, she is intersex (not male).
The conversation about how this is managed in sports is complicated. Some context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports#Chromosome_testing
This boxer is also from Algeria, which is not famous for it’s trans rights. Homosexuality is illegal in Algeria.
Algeria has condemned the attacks on this fighter.
The Glamour Women of the Year award has multiple winners.
Nobody “lost” to Geena.
🤦🏻♂️
The context: A Supreme Court nominee was asked to define “woman”, to which she responded, “I am not a biologist”.
This is a silly word game. Many things are easy to demarcate for some or most cases, but very difficult, if not impossible, to define on the boundary. Just because it’s easy to categorize you doesn’t mean that the boundary is easy to define.
(Self-centered, again.)
