Sorry for the short excerpt. AP article. More at link.

It will be interesting to see the affect of this ruling on other women's sports competitions that are being won by gender-confused men who think the're women.

Maybe Semenya was just “born that way”.

All I can say is “Them’s the breaks”, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.

other female runners like her

Sorry. Someone with XY chromosomes and testes ain't "female" or a "her."

But, it’s A-OK for men to CLAIM to be a woman...and then compete against REAL wymens.

Blood tests, acceptable testosterone levels, blah, blah, blah. They are making it all so unnecessarily complicated.

Just take a cell sample from the individual. If the sample shows XY chromosomes, the person competes in men’s sports. If XX, in women’s sports. So easy. So simple.

So, just asking, is it a man or a woman? The article uses the “she” pronoun, over and over, but then they’d do that whether it was a guy or a girl. So which is it?

She’s a he with XY chromosomes & undescended testes. Shouldn’t even have been an issue.

But men who “identify” as women can compete with as much testosterone as they can manufacture.

This won’t last. The left will side with their freaks and soon women will win NOTHING but make believe sports like ribbon dancing. Tranies will compete in women’s events and finally their will be NO gender specific events. When we get there the left will have destroyed another part of our culture and moved on to its next target.

Women’s sports should be limited by XX / XY chromosomes and NOTHING ELSE

The test should not be for hormones unless the test can distinguish hormones made by the body from hormones artificially given to the body by pills or injections.

What is really needed now is a DNA test, for the male and female chromosomes. Persons should not be able to compete as female when their DNA shows they have the male chromosome, no matter what they want to call themself.

She's been told she must take medication, while most athletes are told they can't take medication.

This is where I'm confused. Those who are gender confused take medication to be what they aren't. In a sane, consistent world, taking medications would eliminate either everyone or no one.

Absolutely astounding.

Diversity is divisiveness.
