Yes Ammi

She is a Man
…this is the first I’m aware of her but she’s assigned female at birth…which she’s said was a disadvantage because female weren’t able to train in her country in the same way that males were…and in her country also, transgender isn’t allowed…/…it’s illegal…so why would her parent…/…any medical authority etc assign her as female if she was indeed sexed as male…



…I don’t understand how if she’s in any way ‘advantaged’ how she’s lost in some fights as well and at least one, a very convincing loss…(…I haven’t looked beyond her bio, to know what other losses were in terms of points etc…)…anyway, this is attracting attention and this is a good article from Time…I will just post the link because it’s quite a long article to copy/paste and I’m just going out atm…edited to say that from everything I’m reading in her country…transgendering is illegal so it doesn’t seem likely for her to have their full support in this…(…which they’ve given…)…if she was assigned male at birth…
