‘Intersex’ Athlete Wins Gold Medal In Women’s 800M
The Daily Caller ^ | 8/20/16 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 08/21/2016 1:20:41 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

South African runner Caster Semenya dominated the women’s 800-meter final Saturday in Rio, finishing well ahead of the competition to take home the gold medal.

Semenya is widely believed to be “intersex,” defined by the United Nations as people born with sex characteristics “that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies.” The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) last summer suspended International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) rules prohibiting athletes who exceed a testosterone threshold from competing in women’s track and field events, clearing the way for Semenya to compete in Rio.

The CAS ruling claimed that high testosterone levels didn’t necessarily give female athletes an advantage.

Semenya finished a whole second ahead of the next-closest finisher, setting a personal best with a time of 1:55.28.

Solution: Just do away with separating sports by sex. Let women and "intersex" athletes (attempt to) compete with men on equal terms, based solely on ability. Feminists/progs, if they put their ideals where their big mouths were, should be in favor of such equal treatment, right? But of course they're not. And that's because the outcome would be more than a bit uncomfortable for them.

That would force the ultra-feminists to come to terms that men and women folk are different....

Cheating faggots make up their own sex.

In one of the few times I watched something other than the sprints and hurdles, I saw it in the 800 prelims.

The first thing I thought was “there is a guy running with those girls.”

That’s what I keep saying. Whenever some female athlete talks about how she’s underpaid relative to the men it drives me nuts. Serena Williams isn’t great at tennis, she’s great at tennis for a woman. If the gender divisions went away, she’d never win a dime again.

Animal, vegetable or mineral? Whatever it is, it’s too ugly to have its face on a Wheaties box.

All I’ve heard is that a physician checked her and found out she has testes but no ovaries. I don’t know what to make of that info with knowing what tpe genitalia she has.

I don’t know, but I watched it run and felt pretty certain it was a male. None of the discernibly “female” runners had muscles or features like it.

So is “intersex” the new hermaphrodite?

A man won a women’s track-and-field event. The feminists have lost to gays in the PC hierarchy.
