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.
Actually, women’s sports is in danger. If queers like this can actually win. What a shame. Maybe we need a queer only pics.
Didn’t a woman win the 1976 Men’s Decathlon?
He’s an under-developed man, and definitely male due to XY chromosomes and testes inside the body.
A true intersex, unlike the transgenders who claim to be, but male. Even has a girlfriend.
Remember the East German Women's Swim Team?
Apparently she may actually be XX. It’s hard to tell, because real information is hard to find out there, given the media and the subject. But this appears to be a case of a real biological anomaly, an XX with naturally occurring high testosterone levels, which do exist out there, and not just a case of an XY who “identifies as a woman.”
It’s cases like this which give the latter cover.
Well put, and see my previous.
That was competing against women?
Tranny and black ... I guess the women will just have to stick it.
Other reasons:
* homosexual men have defined the female beauty standard as prepubescent boys, which is why female models are so starved and bony; it is an unrealistic expectation for healthy women
* the homosexual fashion designers are now dumping women altogether, which is why you’ve seen a number of transgender / androgynous fashion models replacing the women
* as much misogyny as you see from heterosexual men, you see worse from homosexual men because they never have to play nice to fraternize with the enemy once in a while
* homosexuals are higher up on the victimhood hierarchy, per social justice/intersectionality, so it allows arrogant mostly white guys to still dominate all the other victim classes
* transgenders’ addition to homosexual rights has resulted in the mentally ill men dominating women’s groups (80%+ of transgenders are biological men, 75%+ of those intact because fewer than one in four have the plumbing removed) - end result, the crazy dudes don’t just dominate men’s spaces but women’s events too; and SJWs are so politically correct that feminist icons are getting no platformed for saying Jenner shouldn’t get a women’s award without removing the male plumbing or due to rape culture you can’t let these biologically intact men (who often have normal sexual preferences and thus say they are lesbian) enter the women’s bathroom/shelter/changing room. Many women are starting to hate homosexuals and LBGT?!*&# because it threatens their feminist movement at a minimum and privacy at a maximum.
I did a little research and it does sound like she is a hermaphrodite. In this case, truly born that way.
Hahaha!!!!
“Dolly Parton know hoe to make a Hen out of that Roster. “
One shot.
Definitely, I believe all of this. The cute little unassuming guy in HR that was misunderstood has bloomed into an ugly, angry, threating mob that has women seriously pushing back. They saw the gay guys as a kindred spirit and now they’re really seeing who they gave away the store to. They’re screwed now, they can’t un-ring that bell.
Yes.
Well said, with no hate added. While respecting this person’s birth circumstances, I think it’s unfair to allow entry into womens sports competition.
You’re right: making sports “equal” would not fly with femininist. Have to have separate categories.
What we need now is three categories. Men/Women/Intersex. To make it fair.
:)
And the gonads likely will need to be removed as they have a tendency to turn cancerous, as do undescended testes.
As for what's "fair" in this case I don't know.
Can't blame the person for what they were born with.
But the Olympic committee has to come up with some kind of guidelines as to how to handle a million in one case like this.
An intersex person who identifies as female, (and has female genitalia BTW) but has 3x the testosterone as a woman. And is at Olympic level talent compared with even the very best XX females in the world.
I truthfully don't know how to resolve this and be fair to the other athletes.
LOL, that would be true.
Looks like there’s a package of junk there.
