Thank you, Shitty. But I was really more referring to those who came in 2nd, not last. Have a good day, Shitty.

First off, I apologize in retrospect for not knowing that the preferred term is “intersex”. And second, someone else pointed out in the comments that this ruling is SPECIFIC to people with XY chromosomes, so more or less yes...it has been confirmed, because if Caster were not intersex then this ruling would not apply…

The scariest thing to me about this country these days is that it feels like topics upon which people can “respectfully disagree” are quickly disappearing. Thanks for the knowledge again...honestly this situation is so freaking nuanced that I am not even going to begin to say that I have any kind of solution.…

I learned of that H-word being no longer preferred all of 20 minutes ago, so please do not take it the wrong way that I said “slash intersex”. It was news to me, so I hope I did not cause too much offense with that. Honestly, I had no idea there were any ill feelings towards that, but I do now. Thanks for stressing…

I am shrugging off that life is often inherently unfair, but not that competition categories should be ignored. The biological categories are what they are because we acknowledge certain differences based upon gender. It would not be fair to have the top women compete against the top men, but not because they are any…

This is fair to say. Unconfirmed, but highly highly probable based on the only logical explanation of the situation, for Semenya to be hermaphrodite / intersex. I definitely think that if there were an intersex category, she would be the champ still!

Thanks, good to know.

The lousy thing I am saying is that fairness has nothing to do with it. There is probably not any IDEAL outcome for Caster. It is even interesting that they are saying Caster is allowed to run in the female category with this medication, when it is uncertain that Caster is even biologically female. I do raise the…

This is where I am basically saying...it sucks for Caster and feels very unfair to Caster on the surface (who is an incredible athlete), but it is not fundamentally wrong. It sucks for Caster...but life sucks. Who it would suck harder for are all the females who worked their entire lives to come up 2nd in Caster’s…

Since when is hermaphrodite an offensive term? I mean this genuinely...I have never heard that, and isn’t hermaphrodite simply a description of a phenotype that is neither entirely male nor female?

The thousands and thousands and thousands of other biological females who would be competing against an individual who has a biological advantage that goes outside the “female” category. Not just like Michael Phelps having an advantage making him great. We would be talking about a biological advantage that it is…

Klan rally HUH? C’mon golden foot. This is a terrible and incredibly nuanced situation, and it is so frustrating to see entities like Deadspin just call it racism and gender bias when really it’s just an awful situation where there is not really a good outcome. That doesn’t make it discriminatory. Caster seems like an…

Deadspin has dug in their heels on a really bad take with the whole Caster Semenya story. It is just an ugly situation, but that does not mean it is discriminatory. Look, the athletics categories are “male” and “female”, and we are not talking about those categories in terms of which one you personally identify as.…

I read it as Got Ass?

Nothing like a technicality.
