Snowflake, do you have proof these comments don’t exist? Btw do you have a penisnor not?
It is relatively easy to prove that something exists. Absent that proof, it likely does not exist. In very simplified form, this is pretty much the foundation of the scientific method. As for my penis, I suspect that it is much larger than your brain.

People who say they are “inclusive” but see this as some kind of “fairness” can’t have it both ways.
Let her run against women. Period. If you disagree with that, then you are not “inclusive.” You have lost the ability to describe yourself with that term.

Funny. People like you degrade society and hurt more people than you think you help.

Semenya 5k or 200? wrote:
The interesting question is whether she drops to 200m, increases to 5000m or gives up on professional running. She can't win either of those 2-events. No woman with a PB worse than 14:35 has ever medalled in a modern women's 5km world championship/Olympics. And as talented as she is, I don't think she can get to sub 14:35 shape. I think her chances at 200m are even worse, as, at least theoretically, Semenya could sit and kick-off of a slow pace in a 5k.
I think she has a better shot at making the 200m team than the 5000m. Based on when she ran the 1500 in London 2017, there's no way she could feasibly move up to the 5000m. She took bronze, but never looked comfortable during the race and couldn't surpass either Kipyegon or Simpson's move. At best she matched them, but as someone who has so much more muscle, she should have been able to handily beat them. Obviously weight isn't the end all, be all in running as people like Chris Solinsky have done well. However, I think she is too big and bulky to compete in the 5000m with people like Obiri, Ayana, Houlihan, and others around.

“Women“ with male physical attributes give them an athletic advantage. By definition they are not normal. They hurt and disadvantage true female athletes.
That is not hate speech. You wish impose your distorted values on others. It isn’t working. This ruling proves it. There is no grey area. Sorry.

I’m not at all talking about whether people agree with the ruling. I’m talking about how people talk about her as a person
I am very glad the right thing was done. For women sports to exist there needs to be some lines drawn. We are starting to see transitioned males compete against females which is very unfair. It's a situation where you cam destroy the gender category for 99.99% of women to protect a single outlier or place restrictions on the outlier.
The mainstream media is starting to pick this up. Amazing the hate they generate and total refusal to accept science.

JFC I'm not ashamed of who I am. I am someone who believes in equality, equity and inclusion. So it bothers me on a moral level that I'm not convinced that trans and intersex women don't have an unfair advantage in sport. Relax.
I don't think it is something that should bother you. You aren't happy or glad that trans and intersex women are excluded. I think you simply might be having a hard time reconciling the idea of fairness with objective differences in the sexes. I'm a man, but if I started hormone replacement therapy to transition to a woman, it wouldn't erase the benefits I have such as increased muscle mass, narrower hips which gives a smaller Q angle, larger lungs, and more.
I think this is a good thing for the sport but it is a rough decision for Semenya. I think the only way forward is to introduce new protected categories because I don't think it is fair to pit biological sexed athletes against transexual athletes. That's a lose-lose for everyone. If a biological sexed athlete wins, it makes trans athletes somewhat invisible. If a trans athlete wins, their victory is called into question. However, the feasibility of creating four new categories is pretty much nil.

Semenya cheated athletes of greater ability when the advantage was removed. On that score she hurt more people than your admiration deserves. And Caster fought diligently for years to maintain that monopoly. If that truth is disrespect, so be it.

If you reported a comment yourself, how can it be true that the comment did not get reported?
