When Griner went to prison I looked into the question. It appears that he is an intersex, like Caster Semenya. Genitalia ambiguous but XY.
The presence of a Y chromosome causes the development of testes. These do not descend from the abdomen but do produce testosterone. In some cases the receptors for testosterone are abnormal, with the result that the individual develops as female with a vagina, but no ovaries or uterus or genitalia remain ambiguous as an adult. Many can produce sperm which may be how his wife is having a child, due July 2024.
“It appears that he is an intersex, like Caster Semenya. Genitalia ambiguous but XY.”
If that’s true then I can pass judgment on her. She’s not merely a biological male or female that’s chosen to be the opposite gender. I feel sympathetic as she finds her way through her life.
That’s possible, but then she’s clearly not female.
OTOH… you must admit that what you’re saying is speculation.
Griner wears size 17 shoes. OK she is not a woman..
I think the solution to all this is to have trans and other people like grinder to compete among themselves in a different category of competition.
