what is the scientific name? |
The thing is, does she have the female vagina or are we talking about her having both sex organs? I bet some of her competitors including whomever came in for the silver medal is probably huffing at the unfair advantage her makeup makes.
What is being said so far is externally, she has female body parts. However, internally, she has no ovaries or womb. So, she is incapable of having children. Additionally, she has internal testies which do what they do for men and make testosterone. So far, there are no reports that any of the testosterone was injected or synthetic.
She broke a worlds record for women. She has more testosterone than a normal woman but less than a man. Unfortunately, she should not be allowed to compete as a woman. It is unfair to those that have a normal genetic classification to have to compete against her.
I really do feel badly for Semenya. The results of these test clearly indicate that she in no way tried to deceive people. She has also basically just been told that she will never have children and while she is young this might not hit too hard now...it will later. She has also been told she is not really a woman and that is going to be hard on her now. People are going to look at her strangely and she will have to deal with it. I do feel sorry for her. The medal was her award for winning, but so too was this...
