I'm not just talking about sports, I mean in general.
Can a male become pregnant? Can a male have a vagina and otherwise appear indistinguishable to a woman even when naked or when the shape of their skeleton is analyzed?
In terms of sex, I'd say some intersex people are both, or neither, or in-between, or a combination of the two sexes. In other words, when it comes to the terminology, pick your poison.
You can say they're "male" because of their chromosomes, in which case you're saying there exist males who can be pregnant, or you can say they're "female" because they can become pregnant, in which case you're saying there exist females with XY chromosomes, or you can say they're neither/both/whatever...
I think woman/man are also social categories though. Because if such a person has always looked female to everyone, was assumed to be so by everyone, and always saw themselves so as well, then there's no justification for insisting that said person is a man, when it comes to day to day contexts.
For example, forcing such a person to use men's changing rooms etc. would be exactly as cruel as forcing a completely biologically female person into using men's rooms.
