If believing that humans (whether intersex or transgender) that respond to testosterone shouldn't be allowed to compete in Olympic women's track and field with elevated testosterone levels is considered bigoted, then I'm proud to be considered a bigot.

I used to disagree with you regarding Semenya about sex classification but now it seems that you have an unfounded vendetta against Semenya.
Again, you're a site administrator. Why would you open up another attack on Semenya?
It seems like sometimes you find things to cherry pick, make it seem like it's news, and project it in the most negative light just to please your highbrow, petty shyster lawyer fraternity friends.
Seriously.
The way you give the news here reminds me of Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds. It's just picking at people with cheap beer in your hand.
Why pick on Semenya now?
What did she do to deserve it?
So you think if Kipchoge or any other runner made a similar comment about 100 meter to marathon range, rojo would not call them out? I'm 100% confident that he would call them out for such delusional thinking.
Doubt she can do a marathon under 4 hours
I call it a man running in a women’s race.
Yes. That is exactly what I think. If Eliud Kipchoge had made that comment, Robert would be very careful in what he said for 2 reasons: 1. Johnson can't beat Kipchoge at any distance. 2. Johnson sees Semenya as a freak and thereby subhuman. He objectifies her as nothing and therefore makes her an easy target for his depravity. He would not risk it with Kipchoge.

Agreed. I just don't understand. Make her either compete with the men or she can walk away. It's just as unfair to the women in the race. First time I saw her run I thought it was a male.

Why does Rojo continue to start threads like this? Is he racist? Or just sexist? Which one is it?

There's no way she (whether you consider her a woman or man) could train to run a marathon in a time that would be internationally competitive for a woman. I would wager she couldn't do it for any distance over 1500 m, and almost surely not even that.
Of course, I could be wrong...
Semenya beat Dom Scott at the SA 5000m championships and Scott is definitely an elite 5000m runner. It's absolutely disgusting that Semenya flaunts her advantage to this degree. Females with this condition should be banned from competing in women's sport.
My bests are 11.6 100, 1:54 800, and 2:29 marathon. I could have been pretty competitive in any event as a woman. Since my PR is the same as Semenya in the 800, I believe that Semenya could run similar times to me in all distances.
I'll be brutally honest here. Now, of course, much of this is speculative, so it may go astray because sometimes I do that....
1. The Ivy League mentality: One has to only say Go Big Red to remember that he went to Cornell University. The problem with some Ivy League graduates is that it goes to their head. I think his sense of self compared with society is overdeveloped.
2. Privileged mentality: I don't gather that Robert had to struggle much growing up except for the common picking that goes on in school. I don't sense that he was abused, had food insecurity, was impoverished, was neglected, or had major setbacks. Ergo, anyone who has had to struggle is a freak because it's their fault.
3. Homogenized upbringing: I do not sense there were many around Robert who identified with anything other than Caucasian.
4. Resentment toward women: I sense he ran into some mean women, which subsequently morphed into the embittered personality and scathing rhetoric with which he addresses women.
5. A debilitating need to fit in. Remember, he has friends he needs to impress here. Imagine what would happen if he didn't come through. I remember a time around 2017 when people were all pretty much ignoring the Johnsons. The posts to capture attention got weirder and weirder.
6. A lack of respect for differences. The more that Johnson surrounds himself with only people who like him, the more ensconced he becomes with only those people. It becomes his bubble.
7 An antiquated, out-of-touch life perspective. People are trying to improve relations and his negativity is attempting to break them.
That's why.

Too bad Rojo won't respond to you and will probably just delete your post
Another thread started by rojo highlighting just how hateful he his. His only point in starting this thread was to elicit racist, sexist comments from his likeminded internet friends.
It's gross. Just stop, and try to be a better leader.

I think a reasonable person can believe Semenya shouldn’t be allowed to complete in women’s events. The only thing super natural about her is she has testes producing testosterone.

I wholeheartedly agree
Sure. This all makes sense if the argument persisted about suitability for events.
But this thread is just attacking Semenya for a quote which has nothing to do with her sex and suitability for events.
Now it's just being petty.
My bad. I've awakened the toadies. Ho hum.

Yes, agreed. Robert Johnson of LetsRun.com continues to attack Caster Semenya for no reason
