Dumb comment of the decade award. There aren’t enough intersexed women who compete at those levels.

The abundance of the intersex isn't what will kill women's sports, it is the allowance of any intersex to compete because it opens the door for men to compete against women. Some man will sue for the opportunity to compete for the prize money if another xy man us allowed to. Soon it will evolve into just one category.

There are enough to rob woman of medals and prize money though, and as others have stated Semenya is a mediocre all comers level runner that would be lucky to win a monthly bus pass for meet earnings if all things were equal.

Who exactly is she threatening?
This is what we want- biologically men out of xx chromosome women races! She also compared herself to Jesus- no shame. When did Jesus ever rob women of their rights? When did Jesus make a fortune out of a lie?
I didn't see a reference to Jesus or a threat in the article. She said that she's in a war (legal) with the IAAF, she won't take any medication, she's good at the 100/200, Steeple and other sports and she wants to compete in the next three Olympics.

Bruh, "she's" "enduring" what "she's" bringing on "her"self. I was once a very good runner (even for a male), imagine me taking my PR's over to the women's side, people calling me out for it, me continuing to be a jackass about it, people continuing to call me out, then someone saying I've "endured" something over it.
The fact that "she's" not a world-class male athlete does not mitigate the jackassitudity of the situation. By your logic, any mildly decent HS male athlete should be able to compete against women solely because they're still technically within range of what the top women athletes have accomplished at the world level.
Stop being wrong.
She invoked the name of Jesus. How dare she.

It will die when most women's 800s are won in a time not much below 1:58, five seconds off world record pace.
How long would male T&F last if no male 800 runner broke 1:46?
It would thrive
Somewhat erroneous here. I don't accept your argument that she's male. She is intersex.

Hey. Enduring the “struggle” is only as noble as the cause.
Stealing from women isn’t high on my list. But to each their own.
CS supporters:
Please do three things. First, tell us the basis for your belief that CS is a female.
Second, make 2 lists... One of CS's female traits and another of CS's male traits.
Finally, based on these lists, make a plausible case for CS competing as a female.
Physically and chemically that's far, far closer to male than female. At least in this case. Stop being mostly wrong.

Semenya won at least $37K for each of the past two Olympic gold medals and in 2017 was one of the top five diamond league prize winners at $52,000. Caster's net worth is estimated between $100 and $1 million. This is all money that was stolen from the other competitors.

You're trying to be edgy and insulting but you just sound dumb. She identifies and presents as female, so call her by the correct pronoun: her.
"It"? Are you 8 years old?
Your other generalizations about gender traits are equally empty and stupid and suggest you get most of your information on human behavior from shows TV shows starring Kevin James.
There is one issue in this debate: her biological/chromosomal profile. You seem to have many issues.

Alabama > Mail. Mail you are idiot, Alabama spells it out for you (plus zero womb); instead of thinking at all you gotta jump on the messenger of the obvious traits ..yes, without much effort, leading to the point and fact that CS is a dude. The uncomfortable real life situation is CS has no place in women’s Track&Field. The longer this goes on without any reason other than CS stating he is a she...the deeper the issue will infiltrate its existence into women’s sports.

In Rio, not a single XX female stood on the 800m podium. That was after only 6-8 years of this Semenya-scam being pioneered...although it is likely to have occurred below the radar with athletes of the past. I have always suspected Jarmila K as being such as well. I have never heard mention her having children.
Wrong. She is biologically 46 xy intersex. I am not quite sure you have the right to assign for her a gender that science hasn't. Please read about 46 xy intersex

Is this really your evidence that she should stop or are you just being discriminatory?
You'd best decide
She's biologically male. I've stopped bothering to argue beyond that point as only the wilfully stupid or biased refuse to concede this.

Look, I don't need to come on here to start flame wars. That you can't understand what I wrote suggests the idiocy lies not with me. Of course, CS does NOT belong in women's athletics. But it's a matter of her biological/chromosomal makeup. She is legit intersex with XY...this should be disqualifying from women's athletics...as the IAAF has ruled. But all the other mental midgetry, of calling her "it" and "he," of rejecting the gender she identifies as (which she has every right to do), and the rigid hewing to "traditional" gender traits (as in Alabama's illiterate response), is just idiotic nonsense.
You need to learn the difference between gender and sex. Then try again.
