If she is a hermaphrodite, which appears to be the case, then she should not be eligible to compete at the woman's level for sanctioned competition. It is a clear unfair biological advantage with noted increases in testosterone and overall muscular development. Semenya's chest is overwhelmingly male. Easily compare her chest to top female body builders and you will see that she is not a possessor of a female chest.
She was born and raised in a rural area. Of course her mother will claim she has been raised a girl, and perhaps she has. Caster undoubtedly sees herself as a she, and perhaps "she" is. But sanctioned competition is a different animal than commonality of private parts. If Semenya has extra male chromosomes than she has an unfair advantage.
Watching that 800 final was like watching Usain Bolt's 9.69 100 in Beijing--she could have run faster. It was obvious, and it soo looked like a guy running away from the world-class females. I can run 3:55 for a 1500! If I get gender reassignment, can I go win an Oly medal?
Her principal didn't know "he" was a "she" until Caster went to run with the girls. WTF? But that is what mommy, daddy, and she was led to believe. SA finds an 18 year-old running obscenely fast and they jump on it. No checks, no questions were made. She will be disqualified and it will all be due to inefficient governmental processing...sad, but unfortunately it will be justice. Women should not have to compete against men, or inbetweeners. I am tradmarking the word inbetweeners tonight.
Flagpole is a douche.
