Caster Semenya should retire, shut up, and disappear from public view
Dude, you already stole two Olympic gold medals from women. How much more gimcrack does your man-cave need?
Caster Semenya is not a woman by any physical measure. Thanks to a condition that affects fewer than 1 in 1,000 individuals, “she” has functional internal testes or testicular tissue, but not the external genitalia to go with them. Such people usually have indistinct or girl-like external genitalia at birth, and as a result are understandably raised as girls, depending on where they’re born.
While this is hardly the worst “birth defect” on offer, it’s a good reason to snicker at the concept of divine, or otherwise cosmically sourced, intelligence coupled to benevolence. It’s a complete punking, really; only at puberty does it become clear that, packaging notwithstanding, these people are males with unusual external anatomy. That’s it. Anyone who tells you differently is lying, an imbecile, or all two.
Yet Semenya managed to compete as a woman in both the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics, winning the 800 meters in both London and Rio de Janeiro. Not until a few years ago was “she” and others with “her” quirky phenotype finally excluded from the female category.
Because the European Union is home to an alarmingly large contingent of persistently unwell and malignant people situated in official decision-making roles, and because Semenya is not satisfied with having already stolen two Olympic wins and other honors from female athletes even if “she” did not originally set out to do so, Semenya continues to try to re-invade the women’s category. Today, a court are awarded Semenya a “victory” that may not mean much but signals that the overlords of Wokism, most of whom are European and often sport toddlerpoop on their dicks, are not letting go of using Semenya as a cudgel against good science and good sense. From the Associated Press:
Champion runner Caster Semenya won a potentially landmark legal decision for sports on Tuesday when the European Court of Human Rights decided she was discriminated against by rules in track and field that force her to medically reduce her natural hormone levels to compete in major competitions.
In a 4-3 ruling by a panel of judges, the Strasbourg, France-based human rights court said “serious questions” over the “validity” of the international athletics regulations were “left open” in Semenya’s previous challenge at sports court CAS.
So a panel of probably blue-haired judges—humorless and pear-shaped virgins at age 35 if cucumbers and other garden-borne dildos are excluded—decided, albeit narrowly, that Semenya was forced to be an athlete and forced to compete as a woman despite “her” verifiable biology, and is questioning whether World Athletics can tell the difference between “male” and “female.” At times, it can and it does.
These social vandals are as admirably persistent as they are malevolent and stupid, and will never, ever stop lying. Semenya used to merit a twinge of sympathy; that ended for me at least ten years ago. Dude, you have your medals despite being a club-level male track runner. You have your undeserved fame. Please piss off and leave the sport to women, even if plenty of anti-woman, anti-science, pro-frigidity harridans—and running is full of slowly rotting, flyswarmed grifter-pundits—will continue whining and crying perversely on your behalf even if you do.
Do I detect you are studiously avoiding using a pronoun for Semenya? I actually feel a bit bad for Semenya - what a cruel trick to raise her as female only for that to be revealed for the idiocy it is at puberty. She isn't completely the villain in this to me, but rather the administrative folks who won't stand up for reality. I also can't figure out why she isn't faster - she definitely looks much fitter than the average HS guy running a bit under 2:00 for 800m. And she looks much more put together running a bit under 2:00 than your average "this is the best I'll every be" 1:57 guy.
Carole Hooven on Twitter: "Caster and others with her DSD are not females with "hyperandrogenism," i.e., abnormally high levels of testosterone. They are males with testosterone-producing testes and XY sex chromosomes, and normal levels of testosterone for their sex. They experience the physical benefits of this high testosterone during puberty, which translate into athletic advantages over females....So the “decision makers” are aware that athletes affected 5-ARD are male, and that they experience the benefits of male puberty. The requirement to reduce T to typical female levels isn’t discriminatory, since these are males who are asking to compete in the female category. But more significantly, all the relevant scientific evidence shows that reducing male T in adulthood does not undo the physical benefits of male puberty." https://twitter.com/hoovlet/status/1678772398617956355?t=HGPK0HPMGQSsnuOth-Z3NA&s=04&fbclid=IwAR0Cs4Fxz83dgIUCYv7TLkkcUupFZWJy5ew2_sSi8Vv-yG9HAFfbI5RsTsw
