My god Deadspin, say what you want from a political standpoint, I usually agree but sometimes I don’t. But I can’t ever recall you being so deliberately obtuse to make a point. This article is some Fox News level anti-science bullshit.
Gee, I wonder why this site is dying and likely to be shut down in the next year?
Has Semneya’s situation been poorly handled? No doubt. Is the IAAF a beacon of rational decision making, clear science, and sound decision making. Nope. Is the science surrounding the benefits of T difficult to follow? Not really. Are intersex athletes a new issue? No chance. Should Semenya be allowed to compete with…
Ya, this Kinja thing really went downhill after the whole Nick Denton thing. Everything is either intended to be racist or to bully. Shut up already - shit like this only serves to mute out all the actual racist shit going on.
“Race is not a biological category, so the incidence of HA or intersex women should be the same across all races.” Nope, this is 100% false.
This article is an exercise in scientific illiteracy and bad journalism that’s a fitting output for Trumpistan. It demonstrates a complete and utter ignorance of the actual issue.

Categorically not racist. And not even sexist. I can see both sides of that - she had abnormally high testosterone because of a birth condition which is not normally occurring. No fault of hers, of course, but also not a level playing field - and sports assumes that there is one. That’s why there are different weight…
Agreed. She just wants to be mad at someone, and if she’s mad at Thompson, then it really circles back to her for getting involved with someone who she should have already known was a piece of shit. Woods is just the scapegoat.
Statement from Robert Kraft:
No.
Yeah, not going to happen. Its shitty fast food. Im not going to spend almost 50% more money than the total cost just to give someone a tip.
Never knew that was ever a thing.
Please. Filthy disgusting? It’s not like the new corporate owner of Sonic is Arby’s.
“White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dismissed the reports in a statement to the Journal, saying, Cohen was a “disgraced felon.”
