1) She's female, but there's no proof that she's female.
2) She's intersex, but there's no proof that she's intersex.
3) She's male, but that there is no proof that she's male.
Are we sure she's even human at this point? I haven't seen any proof.
But you're the only one suggesting that people with DSDs might nor be human.
People with DSDs are fully human just like everyone else.
I guess you can't spot sarcasm? My point is that none of the dolts debating the issue have any hard evidence to support their claims no matter which side of the argument you are on. So what are we even debating?
I thought the story about the initial child was debunked long ago. Either wasn't hers or didn't exists or something but I honestly have forgotten.
This is the first I have heard of other kids.
It would seem a pretty simple matter to sort out whether she was ever pregnant (ie photos) or if there are official birth records? I have no idea but her career had a very odd arc, that's for sure.
Debunked by whom? The same people who claimed she's DSD without citing a single source?

It's widely known that sarcasm often doesn't come through in text-only online posts. Which is why many people use /s to indicate their intent.
But sarcasm or not, in your post you still alleged that other posters on this thread who've claimed that Jelimo has a DSD or so-called "intersex" condition are saying that this means Jelimo is neither male nor female like the rest of us. That's a big leap to make - and I saw it as an attempt to dehumanize people with DSDs by othering and monstering them. If I misinterpreted your intent, I offer my apologies.
Though the misleading, inaccurate and unfortunately stigmatizing term "intersex" suggests otherwise, the reality is that the DSD athletes whose participation and winning performances in women's track and other sports have been so controversial in recent decades are not strange creatures with conditions so mysterious, unfathomable and confounding to medical science that they can't be classified as either male or female. On the contrary, they all have DSDs that affect males and only males - and which during development in utero caused their functioning, testosterone-producing testes not to descend all the way into the scrotum and their penises not to develop properly.
Athletes with these male-only DSDs have the same genetics and myriad physical features that give all males huge advantages over females in sports. Which is why many people think it's unfair that they have been allowed to compete in the female category.
BTW, no one has ever claimed that women and girls with differences/disorders of female sex development such as CAH, Turner syndrome and MRK don't belong in female sports.
As for Jelimo specifically, like I said before, I have no idea what Jelimo's situation is.

I do recall it being discussed. I guess someone could do a search of the forum,
Its a reasonable comment though, that she (or any number of people that know her) could put this to bed at anytime. Either they can't or just don't care too, or just don't care in general.
I certainly agree, its not on her (or her people) to prove anything but most people, aware of such assertions, and if assertions were false, would be eager to set the record straight.
If she is a "code compliant" female, then she is arguably the best 800 runner ever.

It could very well be in the don't care camp. Most of the evidence is her just disappearing when the limits were put in.
And honestly people just would not change their minds. How many people still think Obama was born in Kenya? I mean she has kids and everyone is going they must be adopted...

No in Kenya is doubting her biology. Only happens on this forum. I already linked this article showing how she was covered by the media.

That race is something. Not only Jelimo in there (out in 26 flat enroute to 1:54.87) but Mutola, allowed to dominate the women's 800m for years and years, plus the Russians and Ukrainian in the race. The Russians were doping systematically from the end of the Soviet Empire until kicked out of the sport.

Is the 800m for women the sweet spot for DSD and doping?
The record is out of reach and went the DSD athletes were allowed to run rampant this event was the one they dominated.

I posted on this forum years ago about Pamela having her first child and one of the BroJos ( can't remember which) essentially discredited me and demanded proof. Imagine the onus being on a woman to prove she's not DSD, not the other way around. Like seriously? Pardon my language but that's so effed up!
I remember explaining that her body had developed in a way consistent with a woman who'd given birth and stopped working out, and even alluded to her no longer being flat chested but no one believed me.
Will the BroJos apologise to Pamela for this most abhorrent of smears? I won't be holding my breath.
Rojo is a trash person. Don't expect anything from that P.O.S. His brother is his more intelligent enabler. It's probably not easy having a brother as stupid, vicious and weird as Rojo so I give Wejo some grace, but not much. He's the misplaced lid on the trash can.
At this point, I'm only interested in what the brojos have to say for themselves after years of innuendo.
I think Pamela Jelimo is DSD and never has given birth.
I may be wrong about that but one of the leading experts in the matter emailed me in 2017 the following statement when similar things were being said, "I am 99% certain that Jelimo is intersex and never gave birth to a baby. It is actually possible to be intersex and give birth, but if one has an XY DSD - and it is this subset of intersex conditions that are at that root of the sports issues - then one will not be born with internal female organs, and hence cannot give birth."
Now I could be wrong as the person says 99%.
Didn't a former American collegiate runner get hired to get her back into shape one year? Anyone remember that, we could reach out to him. Anyone remembe his name?

Isn’t “leading expert emailed me” the perfect source for everything?
