My understanding is that this athlete was always raised as a girl, and had no idea of her condition until she raced in international meets. While all the specifics of her medical condition are not public, and nor should they be, it is safe to assume that the visible female reproductive anatomy is at least predominant.

Remember, she wasn't raised in San Francisco. She was raised in a tribal part of South Africa. They wouldn't tolerate raising a boy as a girl.

I agree with others that it is not right to denounce her for a condition that is not her fault. I also think it is not right that the sporting world forced her to take testosterone-inhibiting drugs, which CAS overturned.

Yes, she is an anomaly, and that gives her a competitive advantage. But it is a natural advantage, same as a 6-5 female basketball player.

I’m not sure what this individual presents as far surface genitals goes. I’m not sure we can assume anything, but yes it would seem to be outlandish no one has ever looked, especially considering where the athlete is from and what the appearance seems to be.

Like I said I don’t know what any solution might be. It seems like it is down to chromosome sex tests or testosterone level limits, and both seem to leave some people outside those parameters unfairly, as well as normal range female athletes. At least to my understanding.
