"Women's" Boxing at the Olympics

Given what @jon-nyc posted above about 5-ARD, is Khalif a "trans"?
If one were to apply the "sex assigned at birth" standard, what sex or gender should be noted on Khalif's passport? Which class or category should Khalif compete in?

I have no qualms whatsoever about letting Khalif live out his/her life as whatever gender they want. In these extremely rare types of situations, I’m all for compassion and understanding. And most importantly, privacy. And I would definitely not consider Khalif “trans”.
But if Khalif wants to box, it would absolutely need to be in a men’s division.

Sex isn’t assigned at birth. It’s determined at meiosis, or determined at gamete fusion, depending on how you want to think about it. I think the former is more accurate.

Re: "we'd assigned at brith," I was just quoting statutory language that's becoming more common these days.
