Did anyone catch the Rome Diamond League 800?
This event is now a joke. Elite 800 runners are being made to look 2nd rate, by someone with a clear unfair advantage.
Note the body language at the end of the race. Semenya went around to shake everyone's hand, but no one really wanted to know her - other than Niyonsaba. Ajee Wilson didn't even look at her when they shook hands.
So we worry about making the 0.001% of the population happy do we, while neglecting the 99.999% who are competing without an unfair advantage? Is that what a PC world is?

Can I get a link? I'm really curious. -

I've got bigger muscles than Semenya. But I am acknowledging it would be unfair for women to compete with me because of my male characteristics.
And you might want to check your vocab. Not sure bigot means what you think it does. -
LOL!!! Look that brother clearly trying to flirt with the white women after the race. Alpha male on the prowl baby!

There has been talk that the other competitors should ban together and boycott the races with Semenya
What if they banned together and tripped Semenya instead?
Probably their only hope at beating Semenya at this point. -
Destroying women's sports 800m at a time.
-
Ajee Wilson was dead last in 2:03. She is not a medal prospect with or without Semenya and Niyonsaba.
-
They should refuse to race her, just don't show up at the line and let her run solo. Doing that once at a diamond league meet would force a conversation among the powers who run the sport.
-
She should be required to wear a traditional women's uniform if she wants to compete with women. The girls on my high school team couldn't wear half tights so "she" shouldn't get to either.

That is a good idea Ms. Sheila Reid.
It would be your only hope of stopping Caster since her testosterone levels are a tiny bit higher than your testosterone levels. No worries Sheila.
Women working, running, playing, and joining together to trip Caster is a good solution to this slightly uncomfortable situation. -

That is being bigoted towards the transvestites. Shouldn't transvestites also be allowed to compete? -
the female competitors should make some noise too, too bad they are lazy to do so

Never heard anyone call 800 runners lazy before. -

That conversation already happened. Consequently, she took stuff that made her T levels lower and she ran slower. But, the decision wasn't popular which brings us to today. -

The decision wasn't popular with whom? Semenya?
What about all the others who have no chance of even getting close? -

Yes, the top two are clear XY males (even if their testicles are internal, they've still got them, and they are still producing a LOT of testerosterone).
It has turned women's sport in to a joke. Adolescent boys can beat the top women in the world easily; as a result, all these corrupt regimes need to do now is [drop the drugs and] root around and find their rare XYs with undescended testes (who present as females as birth). They'll win everything if they do that. Though Africa does seem to have a lot higher incidence than other populations, I'm sure they could all find a few. Pity that the true XX elite women will be denied a chance and be relegated to club athletics, but this is the way it is heading.
Frankly, should anyone be XY (with the only exception being a 100% androgen insensitivity phenotype), they should not be competing against XX women. They should be competing against the men, because physically, they ARE men.
In the article recently posted examining this issue (by a transgender woman herself), she cited that there are apparently more than two top women 800m transgender women at the moment. Does anyone know who the others are? Apart from the top two, the rest in Rome looked pretty female to me.
