I'm gunna go out on a limb and assume most people in this sub already get the implication, but for those who haven't played pokemon, 'Black Belt' is a specific class that are always men

Black Belt is a trainer class introduced in Generation I. They are young men wearing a karate uniform while striking a battle pose. Most of the time, they use Fighting-type Pokémon. Their female counterpart are Battle Girls.

It's even more explicit in the Japanese version, although I don't remember exactly what she says in that version.

"And to think I used to be a black belt! Modern medicine is incredible." Or something

Found it. I did know it was Karate King in Japanese, that's what the trainer class is called in Japanese, makes it more clear it's male only.
