This and the Michael Phelp’s examples are poor comparisons at best.

She has male chromosomes. That’s the issue that this article is ignoring. 

To join the choir: Deadspin’s refusal to acknowledge the complexity here is frustrating and undermines your credibility and good work elsewhere. Whether you want to draw the line at XX versus XY, or do a clustering analysis of testosterone levels (and performance); either way there is a clear basis to exclude…

Why is it so difficult for people to understand that the CAS ruling ONLY APPLIES to those with 46 XY DSD. If Caster falls under this ruling, which it is apparent she does, we need to look at what 46 XY DSD means SCIENTIFICALLY. All forms of 46 XY DSD have internal testes. If she falls into this category SCIENCE has…

When they create separate categories of competition based on lactic acid levels you might have a point.

As I’ve argued in other strings, this isn’t a good argument. 

Is this supposed to be a “that’s the joke” meme? Abnormal levels of testosterone definitely will pop a WADA drug test.

It’s almost like they wanted me to click on this and have a strong reaction. 

How come when she says, “No man can tell me what to do.” it’s all cool and badass but when I do it, I still get thrown out of Hometown Buffet for barefisting the gravy trough?! That’s the real sexism.

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.…

Why doesn’t Toyota sell these in the US? They look fucking awesome. You’d have top of the line luxury on par with any of the German brands with none of the figity reliability problems.

Well, it sounds pretty facile, but you’ve got to consider a lot of information when you talk about the vehicle market. What if it was a poor product mix? Shortage of inventory? 

No there will not NOW be baselines because baselines have existed for T since the first anti-doping rules went into effect. Yes, HGH levels are tested for. Samples were taken for HGH years before there was an effective HGH test available.

Semenya is a woman who has higher levels of testosterone than most women, like Michael Phelps has longer arms than most men.

I honestly don’t know what to think.

Have we reached final form of the Gruden photo?

It is time we stop singing any patriotic songs at sports games. No other country sings their national anthem before every single (non-international) sporting event no matter how inconsequential. God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch just plain sucks.  

Which one is supposed to be the better looking one?

Oh shit...This whole thing was just a snowglobe Bran kept looking at.

Never Forget
