They should also strip HIM of his medals.

Always felt bad for the real ladies who got their asses kicked by the imposters in the last Olympics. All that life time of work and then you get to the Olympics and you have to compete against men.

This isn't really the case to celebrate. I think Semena is a true cryptorchid who has lived her entire life as a female. That's a lot different than some dirtbag declaring himself a womxn and beating the shit out of females in whatever sport. It's just kind of a sad and unfortunate story all around.

Yeah this isn't like the below average boy sprinters in Connecticut who decided to run as girls so they could win.

agree

disagree. A male is a male.

She didn't know she was a male though. I'm not really sure she is strictly male. I believe she's the rare case of actually being intersex, isn't she? She wasn't trying to take advantage. I'm not saying she should be allowed to continue running as a female. But there's no reason to hate her or to cheer what's happened. She's a human being that doesn't easily fit in the standard categories. I don't think making her an outcast is the human answer either. Like I said, it's sad and unfortunate.

I thought she had the Y chromosome and male genitalia that didnt drop. Sounds like a male with a birth defect to me. Just because she came from a 3rd world country that couldnt correct the issue does not make her female.

guys, you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. use your eyes, that's clearly a man.

I don't need any science mumbo jumbo to tell me what my eyes can already tell me clear as day.

They should make him forfeit his medals from the last Olympics. Total sham.

A total sham were the Soviet and eastern European women in the 70s and 80s. This is nowhere near that. And fwiw, MANY have saying this kind of stuff about Black women athletes since the days of Althea Gibson in the 1950s.

If you are born with a pee pee, you run with the men.

If you are born with a vagina, you run with the women.

which category does semenya fall in to?

Who are these "many" people saying this "stuff" about black women athletes? I'm sure you have examples.

Billie Jean King was just on a PBS program this past weekend saying that she heard it being said about Gibson at all levels of women's tennis when she was coming up. People still wonder aloud about the same thing with Venus and Serena Williams now. Or Brittany Griner, or any of the other "wildebeests".

I don’t know if Althea was accused of being a man as much as people thought it was unfair that she was black and talented. Whipping all the shitty white girls angered a lot of people in the sport back then. As far as the Eastern Europeans went those girls were filled with so much shit they pretty much became men. I would be very interested to see what showed in the Y chromosome test with Britney Griner. She looks much different than the rest of the players in the WNBA. There has to be a line somewhere or why even have separate gender in sports.

We can continue to ignore women's sports, yes?
