Are you kidding me?

Post a similar poll with Reach/Bisu/other hot progamer and see what results you get.

There was a case like this in the Olympics, im pretty sure it was the last one as well.
And those pictures of the top heavy ladies are disgusting.

I don't know about this one. Obviously I hope she's properly female, but I don't think it would be too bad if she turned out to be physically female, but due to some chromosone disorder she's actually male or something. As long as the South African government didn't fuck up and do something stupid again, I'd be happy.

From the photos, she looks very masculine, but in the race itself she doesn't look masculine to me. In all honesty though, it looks more like the rest of the runners sucked than that she was amazing. I mean, the time was still 2 seconds off of the WR, and she just picked up a bit of speed at the end and nobody else could sprint to the finishing line.



What I do find rather shitty though is some of the other contestants' responses to the situation:

Show nested quote +
Not all of the finalists agreed. “These kind of people should not run with us,” Elisa Cusma of Italy, who finished sixth, said in a postrace interview with Italian journalists. “For me, she’s not a woman. She’s a man.”

and

Show nested quote +
Mariya Savinova, a Russian who finished fifth, told Russian journalists that she did not believe Semenya would be able to pass a test. “Just look at her,” Savinova said.

I mean seriously, have a little respect for a fellow competitor before you make judgements, regardless of how they look.

All in all, I just hope SA doesn't get another embarassment


Huh? It looks very manly to me. Maybe you confused her with the other African girl?

Well I can't say that a gender test in this case is outrageous. (S)he looks like a genuine man to be honest.

At first after reading OP, I thought "This is ridiculous" then after seeing the pics I thought, "HOLY COW!"

So I guess its a good idea. A bit embarrassing for her. But if she was using steroids, then she needs to be called out and dismissed.

Frankly, something is up

I don't think steroids are the question. It's what's between the legs. Judging by the appearance, it's probably a penis. (And I don't mean that in a literal sense, necessarily. I mean, they're probably going to find that "she" isn't woman enough to compete with women. Based on the way "she" looks.)

I blame the Internet if she is a he. People learn that they can get what they want by posing as women.

Nothing wrong with gender test, considering that the competition was split into two field. Although the definition of a women is not very deterministic, whether it is just pants down, chromosome test or whatever, I bet there isn't a fix line between the split of male/female. I would say the best way to categorise women are those who can get pregnant and give birth naturally, which I guess is not hard to find out.

once world population is high enough we will be able to just have men, women, other

until then, the tweeners are either going to have an advantage (going against women) or disadvantage(going against men). there is no fair solution.

and I dont think most of you get it.


Davies emphasized that the testing is extensive, beginning with a visual evaluation by a physician. “There is chromosome testing, gynecological investigation, all manner of things, organs, X-rays, scans,” he said. “It’s very, very comprehensive.”



it isn't just a matter of seeing if something is dangling between the runner's legs. many people are born with both sets of genetalia. that does not necessarily mean they are men.

it could be a genetic defect. its common knowledge that there are men (born with a functional penis and fertile), but develop large breasts and sharp voice.

likely i wouldnt be surprised if there are women (with a fertile and functioning vagain) with 6 packs.

6 pack..really?

they have to verify the hormone levels, they could be injecting her with testosterone, or she could simply have a genetic mutation which leads to higher testosterone production, either way I'm pretty sure they checked if she had a penis.

How intriguing.
I'd be interested to know more about the testing they do to determine gender in situations like this.
Maybe a third gender category could be introduced for the future.
Please choose from the following.
[ ] Male
[ ] Female
[ ] Hermaphrodite/Transexual/Unsure at the moment.

Also wonder if being hormonally imbalanced would affect gymnastics.

This line from the article is amazing.
"Weiss said there had not been enough time to reach a conclusion. “She was unknown three weeks ago,” he told reporters. “Nobody could anticipate this one. Sorry. We are fast, but we are not a lion.”

Lions, reknowned for being fast.
