Who do you think you are calling these woman male?
Try for one moment to step into their shoes and imagine that after you have spent the whole of your life as a (whatever your gender) people start calling you the opposite. Please some respect.

This is BS. She is not intersexed. She is a female that naturally produces more testosterone. The Olympics don't test man to see if some men have extra high testosterone (some do by the way) to "level the playing field" . Call it what it is, discrimination.

That's false. You don't know what you're talking about. Mboma has testes that produce a normal amount of testosterone for a male. Try to keep up.
No matter how sad her life story is, and I feel for her, but she shouldn't be competing in the women's category. An unfair advantage is an unfair advantage.
That said, she and all other intersex athletes have been betrayed by a lack of widespread sex testing. It would be better if they found out at the start of their career so they could just go quietly into the night without anyone ever knowing, and without being put in the position of wasting years of their lives training for something that isn't a fair competition and which leads to significant public humiliation when exposed. Just let them find out first and quietly not compete.
