Caster Semenya

[Slim]

Caster has won a case with the ECHR to the effect that her human rights are being violated by being forced to reduce her testosterone levels to take part in athletic competitions.

This is a very different case from the usual controversy about trans athletes taking part in the opposite gender's sporting events with an unfair advantage, because she has been brought up since birth as a female, which is why I'm using the female pronouns in this post.

You might think, as I did, that she's a biological woman with freakishly elevated tostesterone levels. But I've just done a bit of reading about this and it seems that she is, in essence, biologically male. She doesn't have a womb or ovaries. She has undescended testicles, and an XY chromosome set.

Difficult one for the sporting authorities, eh? She has an obvious massive advantage over conventionally female athletes.
