There are! Chris Mosier for example is a trans man (female to male), and a 7 time olympic triathlete and duathlete. He is a 3 time Men's National Champion, a Men's All-American, as well a nationally recognized Ironman triathlete. An impressive feat for any man!
@@emilycheng5897 I'm commenting because I see this athlete used as an example from time to time. It should be noted that he is often competing in an age category where he is the only person, or one of two people in that category. That detail is not mentioned when his accolades are listed. You can find the stats for each competition online though. For example he won a national championship in 2019 for mens race walking in the age 35-39 category - he was the only person racing in that category that day. Meaning his time didn't matter. He would have won the national championship in that category no matter how slow he was. His overall placings are usually much further down the line, in the lower half, like 9th out of 13 competitors, or 50th or 127th overall. It's an impressive feat to compete in any sport but he is nowhere near dominating the top men in the country in a way that's comparable to the way these male athletes are dominating females in sport.
You will never see a trans or an intersex competing in artistic gymnastics for example. If you pay attention is the discipline where the exercise are very different between man and woman cause their body would never be able to do the same exercise.
Caster was born with 5a-Reductase 2 deficiency, a condition that affects only genetic males and affects the external genitalia and prostate during development of the male fetus. Semenya was born with ambiguous external genitals and internal testicles producing elevated levels of testosterone. Typically, affected males still develop masculine features at puberty eg deep voice, facial hair and muscle bulk. Whether you call Caster male or intersex, the one thing you cannot call Semenya is female. Certainly not for the purposes of competitive sport. Everyone knows this, Semenya included.
Semenya is socially a woman. She was identified and raised as a girl. However, she is 46XY and has partial androgen insensitivity. Because of this, she has a vagina without internal female reproductive organs, she has internal testes, and in utero and early childhood, her body’s tissues did not respond to testosterone/dihydrotestosterone as a typical XY male’s body does. At puberty, her body responded enough to dihydrotestosterone to stimulate development of a more masculine physique. Semenya did nothing to cause her condition. However, it does give her an unfair advantage in sport over typical 46XX women .
@@lynnk-j9948 Michael Phelps have an unfair advantage to 99.99% of the male population which is the point, just like someone like Usain Bolt. The top level of all sports is about being an genetic outlier to get an unfair advantage. However, I dont think trans athletes OR genetic outliers should be able to compete even if its against their own sex.

I had a lib dem councillor on my doorstep telling me that Caster Semenya is intersex and basically somewhere in between man and woman, just with unnaturally high testosterone. People still think this is the situation. Caster is male, went through male puberty and then everyone pretended they had no idea. Con job since the beginning - these intersex children were sought out for their advantage, it's no accident. They pushed their luck as far as they could, party's over now though.
Semenya is intersex. Probably unfair to be included in this race but equally, many of the winners have genetic advantages anyway so could argue that why are some significant genetic advantages acceptable but others are not?
@@evertonfc5380I’ve wondered that too, why are some genetic variations okay and others not? You could say that because we are not categorizing sports based on those genetic conditions (for example height) but we so happen to be categorizing this sports competition based on sex. Which, for most people, fall into one bucket or another, but there are people who are atypical and how do you categorize them? And why? And who gets to decide where and how that lines is drawn? That’s a lot of power. What if intersex is more common in specific ethnicities? I’m not sure if we know that, I think in countries with access to more medical care, many intersex babies are operated on as infants, to their health detriment I may add.
Thank you Save Women's Sports for uploading this very important message about the effects on women of cheating officials cheating competitors that simply are not biological female. This is still a factor after the Semenya case was further push through the european courts, Caster Knows that his athletic career will be over if ever he reveals that he is male this he knew when he didn't developed as a young woman going through puberty and having periods, like all young females do. African Athletics knew also and they never revealed their findings back in 2011. This whole saga is an abomination on women's sports , and the mere fact that they,the officials are lagging in their duty as to disqualify Casters results and medals , essentially are allowing the public to drive emotional debate and the argument when they should do their job. and stop the cheating and give the women who ran the races honestly and according to the rules their medals and their rightful place in history Winners and podium places of 1st 2nd & 3rd. Unlike Caster and the officials ! Males are not Female , Period !
It may be unfair but when she chooses to live as a woman after being born as a female, you call her a man. That just proves transphobia goes out the window.
NEVER GIVE UP on women's sports......a woman with more totesterone hold more stamina in that body!!!! This is coming ompletely unfair in NATURALLY BORN OR GENETICALLY born women...
Now that Semenya and the two other Africans are not allowed to compete, I am expecting Lindsey to get a podium finish. Nothing else and no excuses pls.

What I hate about Lindsey is the way she acted after the race, Caster came to her just like any other atleste would after the race but in response she acted like she was being touched by a rapist.

@@angelam1999 I don't want to get much into the issue. Having high testosterone might not make you a man but it does give an advantage to the person. Think of yourself on the situation. But instead of testosterone I will mention shoes. So let's say you are about to race against another person. However you have sandals while they are wearing professional sports shoes. Doesn't matter who the person you are running against is, they still have an advantage against you. And let's say that you ran against a couple more people and everyone had sandals except that one person. Even if you became the last place you would probably still not feel happy that someone had such a clear advantage, that you could've had, which would've possibly made you first.
@@JordanSmith-zz6vj CAS ruled that Caster has XY chromosomes. That is XY--MALE! ( in case you were not paying attention in biology class). So, NO--Caster is not a woman.
I’m a black South African, and I have always thought the caster situation was a bit off, you can even hear it in her voice, it’s deeper than the average guys. I have never been blinded by my nationality
The solution is actually very easy. Just create an extra intersex sport event. The Intersex Olympics! Where all transgenders and intersex persons of any type are allowed to compete. So that the female sport is still fair. And on the other hand you still have a possibility to compete at sport on an international level as a transgender/intersex person, but this time on a level playing field! Everybody happy!
An even easier solution would be: declare the male discipline as an open discipline for all sexes (even women could participate, if they want to), but restrict the female discipline to real biological women.
Ladies... I don't understand why you all haven't banned together and collectively refused to leave the starting line when the gun is fired. That would force people into seeing reality for once.
Semenya is male intersex. internal testes, no ovaries, no uterus and 3 times the level of Testosterone then expected in women. This is not fair. Semenya should not be allowed to compete with women. Of course this athlete is in tears. She knows no matter how hard she or the other biological females train they will never beat the intersex males or the trans women ie biological males. They know right from the start who is going to win. IF this is allowed to continue women's sports are over.
Testosterone is not factor, if thats the case, that means every man could beat a woman in a race. Training and diet has more to do with sports. I can beat my husband in a race, when I was preggo I was still faster then him. That's because I do cardio and weight lift.
Life isn’t fair. You could be born rich or poor. It’s about what you do. The fact that a woman who was born like that is told she can’t compete vs a dude who turned woman could compete is terrible. They need to boycott and completely shut off everything until they set things straight

This is a very tough issue, and I feel bad for Caster, none of this is her fault. It’s easy for someone who doesn’t care much about sports to say- just let her compete. But for athletes who’ve trained their whole lives to prepare for these events, and whose livelihood, recognition, and everything else they’ve been fighting for every day since they were young, it’s very hard to say, ya that’s fine we’ll all just compete for 2nd place since we’re racing against someone with a rare medical condition that gives them a unfair advantage. The difference between 2nd and 1st. Or getting a medal and 4th place is huge. It can be the difference between being a famous world champion vs. no one knowing who you are. Or being able to get sponsorships and endorsements and make a living vs. not making any money and having to quit and move on from sports

All three of the medalists are MALES. This is why the testosterone limits were lowered. It is one of the biggest scandals in sports history. Don't think for a minute the women shut out of their own competition by these MALE cheats didn't raise a stink behind the scenes.
Would sorta be like the Paralympics with a lot of diversity in that category, she'd probably do really well. But I don't think there's enough athletes to make it feasible. A better idea, strip her of her medals, and give them to the women that she competed with, better late than never.
If she is intersex surely it’s only fair that she also competes in male events where she will always lose? Interestingly she only chooses to run against people who can only ever be physiologically weaker.

In that particular race at the 2016 Olympics, all three medalist had male DSDs - they have testicles, male levels of testosterone, and went through male puberty. The athlete in the video finished 5th but was the second female. Understand now?
Read the 2019 CAS report if you want to understand more about the male runners with DSDs who were competing in the female category. They are still allowed to participate; all they have to do is lower their T or compete in a longer race and keep their male levels of T. It’s insane, but Caster Semenya is not willing to do that. It’s her right to not lower her male T, but then she can’t compete. Read more about 46 XY 5 ARD. These people can father children with their semen. One of the intersex athletes who medalled at that Olympics has since come out in agreement that athletes with male DSDs should not compete in the female category.
This is so horribly painfully unjust and unfair. Caster Semenya is a man. He has an extremely unfair advantage vis a vis actual women. This needs to be stopped.
Michael Phelps: Naturally has a disproportionately vast wingspan, double jointed ankles and elbows, vastly high lung capacity and produces half the lactic acid of his competitors Men: He’s genetically gifted! He was born to swim! Caster Semenya: Naturally has a higher level of testosterone Men: She’s not eligible to compete, ban her now!
@Klip and the f****d up part is that she comes from the villages and probably only realised her talent by running to a school that is kilometers away unlike this girl who probably did track to get out of "detention" 😒
I think it's hard for both parties. Semenya can't help it and the other athletes are also in a difficult position. But on the other side I also ask myself if her condition was causing her to loose would they ask her to use the hormone pills also🤔. Just to stand neutral. Is there a comittee that looks at women who never makr it and analyse why they never make it? How many women are living with this condition and are athletes. I have 1001 question about all this. Hope a solutiins can be found to please all parties because sport is there for everyone.

This is MUCH different than the transgendered issue. My opinion is no transgendered should be in a female event. But Caster Semenya is a born female with genetic and biological differences. Her sex organ is female. She has advantages but those are different than those of the trans.

Why did they never stand a chance? Because men are faster than women? I know a crap ton of men who would be absolutely demolished by even the woman who came last in this race. Your sexism is showing. Don't act as if you care about women's sports. You care that black women that don't fit into the patriarchal white ideal of femininity beat a bunch of white women. And this white woman couldn't get over her entitlement and fragility to take the loss. She's lost races to plenty of more 'feminine' women and now chose the Olympics to go all white woman tears about it.

I had a lib dem councillor on my doorstep telling me that Caster Semenya is intersex and basically somewhere in between man and woman, just with unnaturally high testosterone. People still think this is the situation. Caster is male, went through male puberty and then everyone pretended they had no idea. Con job since the beginning - these intersex children were sought out for their advantage, it's no accident. They pushed their luck as far as they could, party's over now though.
Spoken too soon.
Semenya is intersex. Probably unfair to be included in this race but equally, many of the winners have genetic advantages anyway so could argue that why are some significant genetic advantages acceptable but others are not?
@@evertonfc5380I’ve wondered that too, why are some genetic variations okay and others not? You could say that because we are not categorizing sports based on those genetic conditions (for example height) but we so happen to be categorizing this sports competition based on sex. Which, for most people, fall into one bucket or another, but there are people who are atypical and how do you categorize them? And why? And who gets to decide where and how that lines is drawn? That’s a lot of power. What if intersex is more common in specific ethnicities? I’m not sure if we know that, I think in countries with access to more medical care, many intersex babies are operated on as infants, to their health detriment I may add.
Thank you Save Women's Sports for uploading this very important message about the effects on women of cheating officials cheating competitors that simply are not biological female. This is still a factor after the Semenya case was further push through the european courts, Caster Knows that his athletic career will be over if ever he reveals that he is male this he knew when he didn't developed as a young woman going through puberty and having periods, like all young females do. African Athletics knew also and they never revealed their findings back in 2011. This whole saga is an abomination on women's sports , and the mere fact that they,the officials are lagging in their duty as to disqualify Casters results and medals , essentially are allowing the public to drive emotional debate and the argument when they should do their job. and stop the cheating and give the women who ran the races honestly and according to the rules their medals and their rightful place in history Winners and podium places of 1st 2nd & 3rd. Unlike Caster and the officials ! Males are not Female , Period !
Amen
It may be unfair but when she chooses to live as a woman after being born as a female, you call her a man. That just proves transphobia goes out the window.
I cant keep up with what's going on in the front :(
NEVER GIVE UP on women's sports......a woman with more totesterone hold more stamina in that body!!!! This is coming ompletely unfair in NATURALLY BORN OR GENETICALLY born women...
Now that Semenya and the two other Africans are not allowed to compete, I am expecting Lindsey to get a podium finish. Nothing else and no excuses pls.

You do know that the runners in questions have testicles, no womb or ovaries...and XY chromosomes AKA men
@@sariahpiacentini9274 you are treating them like transgenders but they are intersex, they did not choose to have testies and this condition they were born like this. The testicles are inside, this is only happening because these athletes are African, if they were American or European they would. Never be forced to reduce their testosterone levels. What I hate about Lindsey is the way she acted after the race, Caster came to her just like any other atleste would after the race but in response she acted like she was being touched by a rapist. She did not stand a chance to win even when the Intersex athletes were not part of this race. I wonder what is going to be her excuse this year(COVID 19)

@@angelam1999 I don't want to get much into the issue. Having high testosterone might not make you a man but it does give an advantage to the person. Think of yourself on the situation. But instead of testosterone I will mention shoes. So let's say you are about to race against another person. However you have sandals while they are wearing professional sports shoes. Doesn't matter who the person you are running against is, they still have an advantage against you.
And let's say that you ran against a couple more people and everyone had sandals except that one person. Even if you became the last place you would probably still not feel happy that someone had such a clear advantage, that you could've had, which would've possibly made you first.

Complete injustice.
The solution is actually very easy. Just create an extra intersex sport event. The Intersex Olympics! Where all transgenders and intersex persons of any type are allowed to compete. So that the female sport is still fair. And on the other hand you still have a possibility to compete at sport on an international level as a transgender/intersex person, but this time on a level playing field! Everybody happy!
An even easier solution, match people by their chromosomes.
an even easier solution, males vs males females vs females.
but clearly someone cant accept that.
An even easier solution would be: declare the male discipline as an open discipline for all sexes (even women could participate, if they want to), but restrict the female discipline to real biological women.
That’s not gonna fix anything. She’s a female and transgenders are not so therefore the competition will be in shambles
@UCGGkHGt4ocXB7UfimkT3dRA Who is "she"?
Poor girl. So sad.
Ladies... I don't understand why you all haven't banned together and collectively refused to leave the starting line when the gun is fired. That would force people into seeing reality for once.
The people at the top would simply fine and ban them from future races; that's why they said they couldn't do that.
Semenya is male intersex. internal testes, no ovaries, no uterus and 3 times the level of Testosterone then expected in women. This is not fair. Semenya should not be allowed to compete with women.
Of course this athlete is in tears. She knows no matter how hard she or the other biological females train they will never beat the intersex males or the trans women ie biological males. They know right from the start who is going to win.
IF this is allowed to continue women's sports are over.
Testosterone is not factor, if thats the case, that means every man could beat a woman in a race. Training and diet has more to do with sports. I can beat my husband in a race, when I was preggo I was still faster then him. That's because I do cardio and weight lift.

This is a very tough issue, and I feel bad for Caster, none of this is her fault. It’s easy for someone who doesn’t care much about sports to say- just let her compete. But for athletes who’ve trained their whole lives to prepare for these events, and whose livelihood, recognition, and everything else they’ve been fighting for every day since they were young, it’s very hard to say, ya that’s fine we’ll all just compete for 2nd place since we’re racing against someone with a rare medical condition that gives them a unfair advantage. The difference between 2nd and 1st. Or getting a medal and 4th place is huge. It can be the difference between being a famous world champion vs. no one knowing who you are. Or being able to get sponsorships and endorsements and make a living vs. not making any money and having to quit and move on from sports

All three of the medalists are MALES. This is why the testosterone limits were lowered. It is one of the biggest scandals in sports history. Don't think for a minute the women shut out of their own competition by these MALE cheats didn't raise a stink behind the scenes.

Would sorta be like the Paralympics with a lot of diversity in that category, she'd probably do really well. But I don't think there's enough athletes to make it feasible.

In that particular race at the 2016 Olympics, all three medalist had male DSDs - they have testicles, male levels of testosterone, and went through male puberty. The athlete in the video finished 5th but was the second female. Understand now?
Read the 2019 CAS report if you want to understand more about the male runners with DSDs who were competing in the female category. They are still allowed to participate; all they have to do is lower their T or compete in a longer race and keep their male levels of T. It’s insane, but Caster Semenya is not willing to do that. It’s her right to not lower her male T, but then she can’t compete. Read more about 46 XY 5 ARD. These people can father children with their semen.
One of the intersex athletes who medalled at that Olympics has since come out in agreement that athletes with male DSDs should not compete in the female category.
This is so horribly painfully unjust and unfair. Caster Semenya is a man. He has an extremely unfair advantage vis a vis actual women. This needs to be stopped.

I think it's hard for both parties. Semenya can't help it and the other athletes are also in a difficult position. But on the other side I also ask myself if her condition was causing her to loose would they ask her to use the hormone pills also🤔. Just to stand neutral. Is there a comittee that looks at women who never makr it and analyse why they never make it? How many women are living with this condition and are athletes. I have 1001 question about all this.
