After reading today's quote I wondered if Semenya could get pregnant without medical assistance. Does anyone know if intersex people can either impregnate or get pregnant?
Are there different levels or degrees of being intersex and is there a cutoff threshold for intersex people to be able to have children? If so what level is Semenya?
A poor measure that doesn't relate to athletic performance at all. Many XX women are unable to bear children.
Semenya is a Y-bearing intersex with a male phenotype. The focus should be on the advantages of having lifetime male-level testosterone.

Yes. It is a very rare condition with many possible combinations of male-ness and female-ness. The definition of intersex people "having children" varies with their situation.
Men cannot have children, so no, he can't have children.
His wife can have children.
Is this thread really necessary?
No, she cannot. She has female external bits but not a uterus.
Never heard of any intersex people being fertile but I DID read something about an Olympic athlete with an extra Y chromosome who gave birth a few times.
With over 7 billion people out there, I'm sure anything 's possible somewhere.
Yo imma find out for you

And OP: no, in place of a uterus, she has undescended testes (hence the male level testosterone)
This thread is absolutely disgusting.

The ladies would obviously be queuing up to have Caster's children...
She would be the mom and the dad
What do they teach in schools these days????
CS has testes. And Y chromosomes. CS is likely infertile because the same hormones that regulate descension of the testes affect development of the testes. CS likely doesn’t produce viable gametes

That's not caster Semenya. Looks like Didier Drogba to me
All of these crude attempts to tear down Caster Semenya does not mean IAAF will prevail. A carve out for 400m to 1500m is rude and capricious. Clowns have their fun today insulting Semenya. Since IAAF only stated 400 to 1500, this will not be the final ruling.

Brings all new meaning to playing with yourself.
The likely answer is no.
A better question to ask is if Caster has a prostate and back hair.

Get over it.
There are intersex women, with low estrogen, (and also low testosterone) who are unable to have children - Mosaic Turner Syndrome, for example. Everyone would identify these girls and women as female. There was a world champion gymnast who had Turner Syndrome. Most TS girls and women are very small (
