People are saying it is a biological woman. If it is are the dosing testosterone? Trying to find anything on this that makes sense seems almost impossible on x.
I know a woman that looks similar to her that is definetly a woman, as she is also a mother.
As Imane Khelif, this woman I know was a top athlete, in her case in gymnastics.
Looks don't mean much, and testosterone levels do not make much of a difference.
Is this one of those relatively rare cases in which the sex "attributed" (I don't like the use of that word in this context) at birth wasn't correct? I suppose it's possible, but if it was then it was not born as a boy.
PS: in some countries around the Mediterranean sea (like Algeria and Portugal), it's not that uncommon to find women with some signs of a beard or moustache.
Edited to add that the "deemed to have male chromosomes" was never proved.
