I'm no expert on this stuff. But this article sheds some light.

I'm not sure. It's not as if she was trying to cheat. Her genes are her genes. But I think if there is some issue she is still mostly female. Her 800 m times are those of a fast male high school runner.

True. I am, by no means, a doctor. Due to empathy pains I even find it difficult to watch the medical documentaries. My wife is complete opposite and is in the medical field and loves that stuff and watches shows about it often.
That said, she was watching a show about hermaphrodites. I was half in and half out, really not trying (nor wanting, as with anything medical) to pay attention but couldn't shut off my brain. I remember (as unreliable as my memory is here) them saying that some doctors were making their parents pick a gender for them.
Again, take no fact from that. I guess my point here is that there is a lot of confusion about these issues and the many ways things can be different in these extreme cases.
My empathy pains are kicking in again. I hope no one ever has to go through this.
Internal testes, no ovaries and no uterus.
But, does it have a penis? apparently not, and it must have something that looks an awful lot like a vagina and a clitorus or you'd think someone would have noticed them missing.
So, a question to the anti homo crowd; with whom, and how, is this person supposed to have sex?

I wasn't aware that Caster Semenya is homosexual. :idunno:
It claims to be a girl, but it has testes, inside, and no uterus, so what is it?

A person who is Middlesex...
quite easy, really
quite easy, really
I wonder if they have given the Williams sisters a similar test?? :think:
So does this make Caster a pervert?
Why don't you go ask? :idunno:
Discovering genetic abnormalities doesn't make one a pervert in my opinion. But it would sure make for one confused and difficult situation.
Much better to be born without such problems, wouldn't you agree?

Some would call her that.
I think she is a young woman who has been subjected to the most intrusive testing...for the whole world to see.
