Fact check: Is britney griner a male

1. Summary of the results

Brittney Griner is definitively female and uses she/her pronouns ^[1]. Multiple credible sources have categorically rejected claims about her being male, rating such assertions as "Pants on Fire" false ^[2]. She has been consistently identified as a "queer black woman" and professional basketball player ^[3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The question lacks crucial context about Griner's experiences:

• She has publicly addressed and refuted claims about her gender identity ^[1]
• She has been open about experiencing bullying related to her physical appearance ^[1]
• She has demonstrated resilience by embracing her body despite social challenges ^[1]
• She has been housed in a women's prison and has not identified as transgender ^[4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself appears to stem from problematic sources of misinformation:

• Such claims are often malicious attempts to mock her appearance or fuel cultural debates ^[4]
• The persistence of these false claims despite clear evidence suggests deliberate spreading of misinformation
• These narratives often benefit:

Those seeking to delegitimize women's sports

Social media actors generating engagement through controversial content

• Groups attempting to weaponize gender identity for political purposes

The evidence conclusively shows that questioning Griner's gender is not only incorrect but potentially harmful, as it perpetuates a pattern of bullying she has already experienced throughout her life ^[1].
