Vagina, and testes in place of ovaries.

Honestly, I’m torn. Sure, it’s an unfair advantage, but athletes are only athletes because God and genes blessed them with unfair advantages. I mean, they have to work hard to develop what they got, but they got it to begin with.

Usually in this case, the male genitals are inside the body, with out x-rays or a dna test there would not have been any way for her to know.

Thanks for the Biology lesson. To be both part X and Y is messed up.

Are XX Males and XY Females fertile.

Very good sports. Heather Locklear was also quite the sport with the dog humping on her arm.

While looking for that video I saw one of Conan talking about the encounter.

Pretty funny.

XY females are infertile. Unsure of XX males, but it is likely that they are infertile as well as there are several genes for spermatogenesis on the Y chromosome (IIRC).

HE doesn’t menstruate because he has no female organs - NEVER HAS. You need a uterus and ovaries to do that. HE wasn’t born with either. What HE is is a man with a penis/genitalia birth defect. His penis did not develop into a penis. Apparently, he has testicles as he produces testosterone.

I don’t believe she should be ridiculed for her uncontrollable birth defect.
Oh, I agree. I don't wish to humiliate her, but this has happened, it's out there, and now it has to be addressed.

I feel very sorry for her too. But we can't just drop the issue of her competition now just so we don't hurt feelings ..

OK - So what about the “real women” who SHE has chosen to use her testosterone to run against? SHE is the one who is abusing HER genetic aberration to win international public races. SHE is not using her genetics to sprint the 100 0.02 seconds faster, but is more like a 110 pound four-times failed 2nd grader who is wrestling her 60 lb classmates.

I agree that she shouldn’t be competing and I stated that in my first post. I was addressing the Freepers who are calling her a freak, etc, etc. The insensitivity to a genetic mutation is outstanding among the “compassionate conservative Christians” on this board.

Yes, absolutely. I can feel sorry for “her” though and still believe she should not be competing under any circumstances. I have just begun running competitively and although my biggest competitor is my own lazy behind, I would still be outraged at having this person posting times in the female catagory.
