HE controversy over gender row champion runner Caster Semenya deepened today — after reports claimed sex swap tests have shown she is a HERMAPHRODITE.
South African gold-medallist Semenya, 18, has both male and female organs, it was claimed.
And sources close to the International Association of Athletics Federations — who ordered extensive tests on the teen after her amazing 800m win at the World Athletics Championships last month — say the results mean she could still be stripped of her medal.

Tell me you honestly didn’t look at the picture!
Technically, (s)he is more like a one-person group.
Traditionally in these games there are the “ALL MALE” competitions, and those for “OTHERS”. This business of worrying about the exact configuration of the “OTHERS” is relatively recent. The ancients sure didn’t care, nor did the guys who restarted the Olympics.
I think she could marry in 48 of the fifty states...Alabama and Mississippi would deny her/he...but if it was a 2nd cousin situation, we’d just waiver he/she.
It may boil down to chromosomes...is he/she’s an XY, genetic male with femaleish parts...or is she an XX, genetic female with some maleish parts?
Sorry.....I forgot to post the “.........../s” Sometimes my comments are too obscure.
Looking on the positive side of the question, there has to be some benefit with having the choice of whichever is the shorter bathroom line.
Well gee maybe she isn’t really a she......
THere are all kinds of variations. Testicular feminization is one, adrenogenital syndrome. Chromosomal variations even mosaicism. But she had no ovareis or uterus so I am thinking she is a male with undescended testes. Sad thing here.
Put on a Boob Belt, take out the braids, put in a tiny bun, stick her in an ugly dress and it’s Michelle Obama.
This one has great arms too.
I have a cousin who is a Hermaphrodite. She had surgery as an infant and was raised as a girl but has very masculine features and voice. It’s a tough life - works in a factory and never had a boyfriend. If that’s the case for this person they have my sympathy, not my ridicule.

Historically, people with pseudohermaphroditism are treated and live as female because they do have XY chromosome (with the exception of rare cases of Klinefelter’s syndrome who have an extra set of chromosomes).
Who is damning her. Sounds like you are a bit sensitive. They have drugs for that.
Not you, just the stories I’ve seen in general mocking her. There is some crap out there about this.
“...and the colored girls go... doo doo doo doo doo do doo doo do doo...”
Shaved her legs and then he was a she!
