Caster Semenya, 25, a South African runner, is tipped to win the 800m But the athlete has ignited a debate about gender at the Olympic Games Semenya has testosterone levels three times the normal level in women She has no womb or ovaries but rather internal testes due to abnormality

Of all the stars at Rio, few are as hotly tipped for resounding victory as 800m runner Caster Semenya. Fewer still can match her for controversy.

There are those who say she should not be allowed to compete in the Olympics women’s 800m, which she is almost certain to win. No doubt they would also like to see her stripped of her former victories — gold and silver at the 2009 and 2011 World Championships and silver at the London 2012 Olympics.

It is not accusations of doping that dog the South African, though it does come down to chemistry. The question is whether she is, in fact, a biological woman.

Semenya, 25, has testosterone levels three times the normal level found in women and approaching those of a man. Furthermore, she has no womb or ovaries, and instead, owing to a chromosomal abnormality, internal testes.

But the fraud doesn't end with Semenya:

Margret Wambui, just another Kenyan posing as something he isn't

I saw the 800 tonight and wondered, ‘Why is there a man running with the women?’
World gone mad.

[grey_whiskers]

All this and no mention of Caitlin Bruce?

If I was a women who had trained for ten years .... But alas, speak on this and you suffer the treatment.

I saw that THING 'Wambui' run tonight. I thought a dude sneaked onto the women's track! Total SHAM and sad for the REAL females on the track. 'Black LIES Matter' but they'll get away with it every time because stopping them would make anyone trying to stop them 'racist'. Just ask our nearly 8 year 'home wrecker' president.

"WHAT YOU TALKIN'BOUT, WILLIS?"

When in doubt, THROW SOME PEARLS ON HER!

What does a DNA test reveal? A man can “transition” into a woman but his DNA will never show he is female. He may have “gender reassignment” surgery and take hormones the rest of his life to stop beard growth and soften facial features among other so-called benefits, but his genetics will ALWAYS show male. That should probably be the deciding factor and not whatever the person identifies as. It isn’t fair to the women competitors.

My thoughts exactly. Still can’t believe it’s not a man!

[LibWhacker]

Gotta wonder if any woman will ever win a gold medal again? Maybe starting with the next Olympics?

[tumblindice]

What the ...

Send 'em back to the kitchen!

I’m very ambivalent when it comes to the subject of hermaphrodites. It’s not like these people chose to be the way they are, they were born that way. So please don’t trash this person.

LOL

Lady Mooch. Of all people to talk about blurring of the genders! This has been fully discussed on several YouTube videos. Some are bizarre, others are hilarious.
