Track Star Caster Semenya PC Outrage

[gnadfly]

So this "woman" has set all types of track records by a shattering amount. She has been ruled not to compete as a "woman" by an international track federation unless she takes meds. The Media is outraged.

She submitted to a sex test years ago. The results have not been officially released. If I remember correctly the leaked results was that instead of having ovaries, she had essentially testicles. She did have a vagina. The media keeps harping "she's a woman" even though on wiki it says she has "intersex traits."

Any thoughts?

This goes under the heading of "who gives a shit".

Women's sports are being made into a joke. It seems the more male traits a woman has, the more competitive she is.

Ask your self. Do men athletes worry about their competitors having too many female traits.

I kinda have empathy for Caster Semenya. She was obviously born with some parts that were not in the norm. She isn't some guy who suddenly identifys as a woman to get an advantage. It's not her fault.

Is it fair to other women who don't have a set of testicles flooding testosterone into their system? Of course not. If Caster was injecting these "performance enhancing hormones" she would be banned for sure. But since it is a natural thing for her, what do you do?

This may be different. From what I tell, they haven't officially released 'her' medical evaluation. She may have been born this way as opposed to a trans who is making some type of physiological/psychological change. It's unfair to have people spout "she's a women" when they don't really know and unfair to true female competitors to be shamed into not challenging her eligibility.

When Semenya, then 18, dominated the 800 at the 2009 world track and field championships, winning by more than two seconds, a fellow competitor called her a man. Pierre Weiss, the general secretary of the International Association of Athletics Federations, track and field’s world governing body, said, “She is a woman, but maybe not 100 percent.”

....

Female athletes above the testosterone threshold of 10 nanomoles per liter — considered at the lower end of the male range — faced the prospect of invasive, humiliating and potentially risky measures if they wanted to continue competing. These included hormone-suppressing drugs and surgery to remove internal testes, which can produce testosterone.

It is not known for certain what, if any, procedures were undergone by Semenya, who won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Nor could it be verified, as reported in 2009 in The Daily Telegraph of Australia, that Semenya had internal testes and three times the testosterone level of a typical woman.

It's hard to tell the sex of certain species.



First, the species must be determined.

Too much of a man to compete against women and too much of a woman to (be able to) compete against men.

What a shitty hand to get delt.

The hermaphrodite Olympics...problem solved.
