</div>
<div class="card-body d-flex flex-column" style="position: relative">
    <h6 class="d-flex justify-content-start align-items-center">
        <span class="display-name">
            <?= Html::encode($profile->getSexTitle()) ?>

Should be $profile->photo().

But what sort of method is the getThumbnail() method? You probably need a file object instead of a field, but since I don’t know the method, it’s impossible to tell.
