      We need to be honest: she has the physical abilities of a man. I don’t know if you remember maybe 10 years ago, there was that trans female fighter who was beating the ever living crap out of every other female fighter. Forgot her name. One fight was so bad, the fans were begging the ref to stop it. It was actually hard to watch. It wasn’t a fight, it was an assault. Yes, I get it, Caster isn’t trans. But clearly she has a lot of male genetic traits and has an advantage no woman will be able to overcome. When you see her in her running outfit, physically, she’s a man.
      Now, did she break any rules? No. Is she a woman? Yes. I honestly don’t know what the answer is. But having her compete against other women would be no different than having a man compete against women. It upends the sport when she comes in and sets records no woman would ever touch in 100 years. It’s a situation that requires a lot of thought.

She was born with more testosterone, some are born with bigger muscle mass, some are born smarter than others. She’s a biological woman, she isn’t cheating in any way, she should be able to compete as she is. Should we also reduce high IQ of certain geniuses because it’s unfair advantage and they are competing against average people? I lived in communist regime where only average was accepted. Trust me, it’s an awful system.

  • @carmay3600
    @carmay3600 6 месяцев назад +43

    Caster Semenya did not “cheat” on purpose. Caster has a very rare intersex condition called 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency which only affects genetic males. Individuals with this condition have normal male internal organs that are not fully masculinized during embryo development. When they are born their external genitalia can appear ambiguous or female. During male puberty the external genitalia may stay the same or start to take on more male characteristics.
    It is so unfortunate that she had to find out about herself on the world stage. Babies with 5a-Reductase 2 deficiency are raised as girls because they look like girls. It is not until puberty that things become more clear.

      Very interesting stuff, and I do agree it was unfortunate for this person to find out publicly, but with that said... why are we celebrating her "victories" when, technically, all the other female athletes have been robbed? This is akin to these so-called transformed wanting to compete against natural born females. The only measure fairness here would be if these type of athletes would be grouped and made to compete amongst themselves. The same goes for the trans athletes. I bet they won't do it.

      THIS!! This is the most accurate and kindest explanation I've seen regarding Semenya. Why can't the news anchors have said as much. They've treated Semenya's case as very ambiguous by leaving out science and that was an editorial choice that has left the public confused and upset. Journalistic ethics and integrity require reporting the facts (one would hope and expect the SCIENTIFIC facts) rather than sentiment. We should have conpassion for Semenya, but also be clear that Semenya is male, not a "woman who appears masculine" or other confusing nonsense. We can be polite without lying or obfuscating reality.

    Caster Semenya is a biological XY chromosomal male therefore male level testosterone which is 5 times higher than the highest female levels. Having female genitalia doesn't remove that male advantage. In fact, Caster has male genitalia as well, is married to a woman and has fathered two children with her.

    This is a human being with feelings just like anyone else and we all thought that she resembled a man because of her features back then and then we found out that she was born with a rare special condition. Unlike the other wannabes, she was actually born this way and her situation was not very popular because it’s not something you hear about very often and this reminds me of HIV/aids years ago in how it was mishandled which lead to more outbreaks or spreading of the disease compared to now and how things have changed and these things happen because people are insensitive, alarmed and just plain evil so it’s a mixture of a bunch of different reasons. Many were thinking that she might have an unfair advantage over the other women but she was born that way so what do you do?
