B.S.
I am sorry. If she is who she says she is. and she has a vagina. she is a she. let it be.
Just so long as it is original equipment and not aftermarket.
I agree. It doesn’t seem overly complicated to me. Maybe the experts would be satisfied if she produced her original long form birth certificate?
Caster Semenya = CASTRATED SEMENYA
Balls! Cried the Queen, if I had two I’d be King! And the King laughed, not because he had to, but that he had two!
There are indeed some poor souls out there born with indeterminate physical sexual identity. (I’m not referring to the kind of odd-ball excuse making the homosexual community does, but a real physical issue.)
Good luck straightening this out. And if this competitor indeed has a physical sexual identity issue, from birth, and now has to face this kind of publicity, I’ll say a prayer for her sanity and dignity.
Isn’t there an X and Y chromosome thingy to check? Pretty easy....
That is absolutely true. You would be able to tell just by looking.
“Isn’t there an X and Y chromosome thingy to check? Pretty easy....”
XX=female, XY=male. But she could be XXY, a female with a male Y chromosome. This would disqualify her.
Some males are XYY and they are super agrressive.
And...
"It would not be like that if it were some young girl from Europe," Chuene told the AP by telephone. "If it was a white child, she would be sitting somewhere with a psychologist, but this is an African child."
According to the ANC, if you are black, you are exempt from qualifying rules and any scrutiny whosoever. The biggest, most disgusting racists are often the ones screaming "Racist!" the loudest.
There are women who have XY chromosomes, which would normally be for a male
This is circular reasoning of sorts - they assert it's difficult to definitively determine an individual's actual gender, but then claim women can be XY, which implies that the gender can be known absolutely.
Sociologists and psychologists can play all the games they want, but I would assert that XX is female, and XY is male - if genetic expression of gender related characteristics is defective, this doesn't change the fundamental sex of the individual. In cases of XXY and XYY, the individual should be counted as male for the purposes of the competition.
yes. but they would know by now if she had a sex change. thats extreme and radical.
Even if she was born with both features in some other way. In my opinion, if she has a real vagina, shes a woman.
This would be simplified so much if she would just simply flash the crowd.
This racism cry is stupid - if “she” WERE a white European girl who looked and spoke like a man (and I have heard “her” voice), “it” would be undergoing the same scrutiny, presumably having denied real girls of a victory.
I was just watching Crocodile Dundee...he coulda sorted this out right quick, mate.
Sorry guys it is a work in progress.
LOL!
