And it doubles his/her chances of getting a date Saturday night.

Apologies to Woody Allen.

If I was a hermaphrodite I wouldn’t leave the house much less run.

[mnehring]

Funny, folks damn this faster than they damn people on roids. She achieved this as an individual, what is the controversy?

[OB1kNOb]

HERMAPHRODITE - it’s a mineral?

[Constitution Day]

You can tell him to go %*@% himself and he can!

[N. Theknow]

Whole new take on the “go screw yourself” concept.

[BGHater]

Sad. Perhaps she can compete in the Special Olympics.

Honestly, I dunno why people wanna make fun of her. She is just as special as the rest of us folk.

[humblegunner]

ordered extensive tests on the teen after her amazing 800m win

Extensive tests?

They couldn't just yank down it's shorts?

[RockinRight]

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?

[tlb]

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.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

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.

There are practically no true human hermaphrodites. Most are males who suffer from the lack of an enzyme that allows the processing of testosterone. Others are females with an enlarged clitoris.

[papasmurf]

Semenya is claimed to have NO womb or ovaries — and has internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce testosterone.

The row over Semenya's biology has caused huge divisions — with South African politicians calling slurs she is a man "racist and sexist." Her birth certificate has the teen listed as female and urine tests showed that, despite her having higher than average male hormone levels, they are within the official limits for a woman.

They should let HER keep HER stuff, disqualify her from future events, make a new regulation that pre-testing is mandatory, and set a testing standard that must be complied with so that this doesn't happen again.

I feel for badly for her, honestly, she must be devastated.

[Old Professer]

Does that make her an intrasexual?
