Tests show that controversial runner Caster Semenya is a woman ...and a man!
The 18-year-old South African champ has no womb or ovaries and her testosterone levels are more than three times higher than those of a normal female, according to reports.
The tests, ordered by The International Association of Athletics Federations after Semenya's 800-meter victory in the World Championships, determined she's a hermaphrodite - having both male and female organs.

Laz?
Me, too. It’s got to be difficult for her/him.
I read that Semenya has “undescended testes.”
As for men being smarter than women, men are both smarter and dumber because their bell curve is broader. I can see someone not understanding all of that. But it's just nuts that people don't grasp that strength comes from, well, muscle mass.
And the “issues” that Joss was working on is that most men like seeing women kick a bit of buttocks, even if it is unrealistic.
And yes, women tend towards the median a lot more than men; but the median IQ of a man is higher than that of a woman.
Strength does indeed come from muscle mass. Size does matter.
There is a reason why boys need fathers and discipline. Testosterone in the unprepared can be dangerous as illustrated by the nightly news.
Hearing the shock in the woman's voice when they described the sudden rage and desire to give the beat down to someone for some minor infraction just cracked me up. Sweet feminine voices saying.....
“oh my! it was so strange, she cut me off in traffic and I wanted to pull her out of her car by the hair and beat her! I never felt like that before in my life!”
Then hearing they were on a fraction of the dose that men have every day just made me die laughing.

Language Alert.
Connection to your Eddie Murphy joke at 2:30 in. Enjoy.
I’m going to be pedantic here. Studies have demonstrated that androgen resistant XY females are likely to be slightly less intelligent than close relatives, but they are still in the average intelligence range. The difference is statistically significant, but not really life-changing. We’re talking a difference of like, four to nine IQ points.
I’d hit it.
Probably a clitoris and a vagina. From reading, it sounds like her external bits look female, and the testes are tucked completely within. I think that’s the most common set-up with hermaphrodites.
But geez if all this makes me feel like I’m really invading her privacy.
Interesting.
I always remember that particular angle because my buddy Derrick (aka Derelict) said “where can I meet one of these women?” after being told of their inability to become pregnant, their large breasts, and their lessened intellectual capacity.
Her full name is Mokgadi Caster Semenya. I have no idea if Mokgadi and Caster are traditional African girl’s names, but I don’t think her name has anything to do with Castor and Pollux.
LOL—I am sure that their intellectual capacity is not lowered to the extent that Derrick would hope.
No doubt! ;)
