‘Intersex’ Athlete Wins Gold Medal In Women’s 800M
The Daily Caller ^ | 8/20/16 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 08/21/2016 1:20:41 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

South African runner Caster Semenya dominated the women’s 800-meter final Saturday in Rio, finishing well ahead of the competition to take home the gold medal.

Semenya is widely believed to be “intersex,” defined by the United Nations as people born with sex characteristics “that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies.” The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) last summer suspended International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) rules prohibiting athletes who exceed a testosterone threshold from competing in women’s track and field events, clearing the way for Semenya to compete in Rio.

The CAS ruling claimed that high testosterone levels didn’t necessarily give female athletes an advantage.

Semenya finished a whole second ahead of the next-closest finisher, setting a personal best with a time of 1:55.28.

The point is, she doesn’t deserve insults.

in this you are correct; we are being unnecessarily acerbic on this thread...I regret my prior comment, which at the time I thought witty and urbane, but was really just dumb...

I think he was raised with internal testes, and maybe a tiny penis.

He doesn’t even try to look like a woman. He probably dresses like a man all of the time.

Does he take estrogen? Do the Olympics test for testosterone any more?

Why do they call it intersex, when it’s not a combination of man and woman, or a hermaphrodite?

How was he born? He looks like he certainly accepts being a man.

I have no idea. I just feel sorry for them and their parents. Thankfully it is rare.

Male and female sexual attributes? Was he born with labia, or a deformed penis? What female sexual characteristics was he born with?

Where are they going? The two on the left look like they’re going to a meeting or work lunch. Moochelle looks like she’s doing a picnic in the back yard.

Semenya screwed Melissa Bishop out of a bronze medal. Possibly a silver, because that Kenyan woman looked pretty manly too.

Francine Niyonsaba (Silver) and Margaret Wumboi (Bronze) are both strongly suspected to be intersex, like Semenya. When the IAAF lifted the rule that made sure Semenya would not have testosterone levels greater than normal range, Niyonsaba and Wumboi also started posting times far greater than they had under the old system. Melissa Bishop was likely the highest placing XX in that race.

I’m not sure where they’re at, but the two other women are: Princess Letizia of Spain and Carla Bruni of France. There’s a guy in a suit standing at attention near the door. Then there’s Michelle looking like she’s been drinking at a backyard BBQ all afternoon and fell down a couple of times.

Dude, if you raise your arms in a victory pose, remember, you just beat a bunch of girls.
