I’m just absolutely shocked. Caster is a legend forever and should not have to suppress who she is to live

Sounds fair.

What is it with everyone talking about trans women and sex changes in this occasion? Caster Semenya is a biological female with higher than average testosterone levels. In her case that makes her fast and strong. In my case I just got broad shoulders, baldness and 1/2

Ridiculous.

Vagueries. Coffee table books. Conversation pieces. But what is the Critical Point. Not to be mentioned. Bad medicine. I don't see it when or where.

Being intersex is not a condition. It is simply down to biology. There's nothing wrong with them. Shame on this headline.

This is such shit. It’s a callback to the days when they didn’t let black women compete in women’s sports.

If I understand it correctly, Semenya cannot compete *in the female category* sans hormone suppressing drugs. That's the key; the female category is a restricted class.
