I just watched Werkwuha Getachew race against other females in the opening rounds of the WC womens steeplechase and Getachew displays many masculine characteristics, far too many when compared to other Ethiopian female distance runner, or other female distance runners from other countries.
I am curious because of the number of male-to-female trans athletes out there. I accept and love them all. I am just curiouso!

Why would anyone support biological males being able to compete against females. Wanting to be a woman doesn’t make you a woman. To allow this to continue is complete nonsense or should I say unfair and stupid.
When will we see an intersex athlete just slaughter a women’s WR? I’d have thought somewhere there’s an intersex woman who, by virtue of being in-between, could show us a 3:46 1500 or a sub-14 5k. Are they holding back a bit? I always thought Caster was when she was running the 1500.
They kicked them out of the 800 and 1500m when they were medalling too much. Semenya and Niyonsaba amongst others. No medals and they can participate freely. If they medal, then changes are made. Problem is it's too late. Proactive is better than reactive. They've been reactive thus far. Liberalism and fake wokeness via irrational and overly emotional SJWs is a disturbing problem.

This is getting so bad even a lot of the 5k and 10 k runners are starting to look like I am seeing them through the same filter that used to only see the obvious ones. It's like one of those filters on Instagram reels with a strange filter for blue kaleidoscope eyes, but for turning women into men. Don't mean to, but Miss Manners is starting to do penis checks and every entrant in the women's races.
Emma has always been a sore loser. She was so lucky in her career and yet she is such a bitter sore loser. She has never even broken 9 so she is not even a great steeplechaser.
Getachew won the Ethiopian Olympic trials last year in the 800m in 1:56, but she was barred from competing in the 800m due to the DSD/Intersex testosterone rules. I don't think Emma Coburn was doing much "outing" or exposing anything that wasn't known.
It's a bit unsettling to see an XY/DSD athlete run an 8:54 NR and roughly 5th best all time for silver with horrible hurdling form... and you'd have to think World Athletics will want to try to expand the scope of their ban on XY DSD athletes in women's sports. But then again I said the same thing about Mboma...
This was Getachew's first year doing the steeple so who knows what her ceiling is, especially considering her biological advantages cimpared to biological XX women. I'd have to guess it's not slower than 8:44.
I also definitely noticed Abebe seemed quite standoff-ish towards Getachew after the race when they were taking their victory lap. Abebe was the Ethiopian champ this year, but probably not from here on out unless the rules change. On a completely unrelated note, though, Abebe ran a fantastic race to regain contact with the lead three and earn a medal ahead of Yavi.
