no, in fact i am correct. there is very little that distinguishes this "woman" from a man. "She" acts, looks, and sounds like a man.
Unless this has been updated (?) "She" has testes. "She" does not have female sex organs.
so....your post is a little bit silly, don't you think?
My point is not that this poor person should be humiliated. It's that this person should not have been put in this situation by South Africa, and it is not acceptable for a human who is by almost any objective measure more male than female to compete against women.
You're not correct at all read on.
1) How she "acts" , "looks" or "sounds like" has no bearing on the discussion at hand. Do you comprehend this?
2) She has INTERNAL LATENT TESTES these should NOT be considered "normal" male sexual organs (they can't produce semen BUT ARE probably the cause of her elevated testosterone levels). Do you read things or just skim through it?
3) If she has AIS (probably as others have said PAIS) then she would lack a womb and ovaries , however in the past WOMEN WITH THIS CONDITION have been banned , reinstated and allowed to compete again. Is this fact sinking in?
4) ASA was certainly very oppurtunistic to use Caster Semenya in this way , but the brunt of the blame belongs on the shoulders of the IAAF and the International Media , if this story hadn't been "leaked" the damage to Caster and the sport would have been limited.
The only thing silly in this discussion are the posts of you and your multiple aliases (did you actually think that no one would notice ?)!!!
