The boxer was not someone who transitioned. She was born and raised a woman. I think boxing is a terrible, brutal sport, we don’t have to come up with ways to make it sound worse.

The Orange Thing is being a piece of slime, as per usual.
The boxer, just to clarify the biological background, very likely has the same genetic situation as Caster Semenya. Raised as a girl in good faith. Biologically XY with androgen insensitivity which means male genitalia are not obvious at birth. At puberty, 12-13-ish, the undescended testes start cranking out male levels of testosterone and the child goes through male puberty with the usual results: growth spurt, muscle growth, penile enlargement, and so on.
What to do *socially* depends on what Khelif wants to do. Upbringing generally counts for more than biology when it comes to attitudes. When it comes to boxing, it’s a travesty to mix totally different weight and strength classes in competition. It’s not done in men’s boxing. Seems like the same rule should apply for women.
