Removing. This would be better for a GenderCritical sub, we're focused on LGB here (rule 2).

Janie Morgan doesn't have much of an online presence, probably related to this death, but I don't think it's possible for her to be male. Here's a video of her in another fight. she's a tiny lady with a typical feminine build, not taller than 5'4" I think. She's listed as a 135 lb bantamweight fighter on one site. Aletaha is listed as a 119 lb flyweight fighter in this obituary meaning they could indeed have been mismatched during the fight. A weight difference of about 15 lbs is close enough the organizers may have decided to go ahead and place them together anyway- there aren't a lot of female fighters to begin with so pickings can be slim. Very sad situation regardless.

I watched that video of her fighting, I agree, she’s not trans. She is small, and quite fit in that fight. I’m really tired of fit women being called trans.

https://youtu.be/Osbse35bktk ...her hairline says female to me. And she's pinging my gaydar as a lesbian. 🥵

RIP to her opponent though.

I recently watched a docuseries called Untold about a boxer named Christy Martin. She was a small woman who called bigger women "men" back in the 80s/90s. After her husband/coach almost killed her... she started dating one of her former opponents she called a man. Lol

Kickboxing is a really terrible sport in general. The husband of a friend of mine was a competitive kickboxer, and he's had to have multiple major orthopedic surgeries in his 50s because of the damage it did, including foot surgery on severely damaged bones in his feet, knee surgery, and a hip replacement.
