And all this time I thought it was a simple matter of dropping her/his shorts in front of an olympic panel of judges.

"WOW LOOK AT CASTER NOW!".......Yup "It" still looks like a dude

[SWMustang]

except for the moustache, adam's apple and broad shoulders - I never would have guessed.

South Africa or South Austin?:D

[Twirling Time]

For me, a genetic test would be the tiebreaker — XX or XY. Nobody has said that yet.

[Rabid Cougar]

Can run both ways.

With all of that ugly jewelry on "it" looks like one of Leach's pirate buddies.

Glad to see we can be classy. Whether or not he/she is a hermaphrodite isn't our place to judge or make fun of. It isn't as though he/she chose to be that way. People get just as touchy about mental handicaps or other similar things, so why is this all of the sudden something to laugh and joke about? Real mature.

I agree! I feel sorry for her myself!! Can you imagine the pain she has dealt with growing up?

I heard on Good Morning America that she will more than likely be able to keep her medal, but it is doubtful she will be allowed to compete anymore. Too strong to race with the woman and not strong enough to race with the men.

[BobcatBenny]

Well ... I think you are right.

It is comical though.

The South African officals knew exactly what they were doing ... and in my speculations ... so did the runner.

Maybe for some people the subject isn't so funny. I have read so many posts throughout different websites about this runner that make me wonder if half of the people that poke fun have so little going on in their own lives that they have to talk about him/hers.

Yes yes but it seems like everything is off limits-today. I can't stand political correctness.

He/she will quickly fade off the board and out of thought .:eek: :eek:

I honestly doubt She/He KNEW..unless genetic test was done before. It is like that house episode where a supermodel teen was sick and it turns out she has testiculuar cancer because she had "both"

Unless obvious physical signs are shown, someone could go thru life not truly knowing

It doesn't upset me, it disgusts me. There is a difference.

In the meantime, keep being a coward and hiding behind a computer and throwing out pointless banter. Everyone thinks you're so tough and cool.

not as easy as that...you can have XXY as well and still be a viable person...i cant remember from genetics but i think XYY is possible too along with just an X...you must have atleast an X to be viable...

Unless obvious physical signs are shown, someone could go thru life not truly knowing Point taken but that "House episode "
that was :spitlol: funny stuff. No the only good thing for this person is that he/she is not from this country and can be somewhat insulated from all the ridicule, hopefully anyway.

I know you can say boob. I like boobs. I don't think I would like
hermaphrodite boobs though. I guess I would have to see them
first.

Pre-op or post-op??

Also heard similar rumors about Ciara, it isn't as uncommon as many think. It's effects however are varied as that runner from SA looks like very much like a male

Do the same thing for Hilary Swank.:thinking:

[Matthew328]

I enjoy making fun of things and people but as long as its something that's done thats just dumb. Mental, physical handicaps are off limits because that person has no control over it IMO.

Like TXB said, maybe she had no idea she was a herm?? It is plausible. I feel sorry for her/him because he/she has gone through a very public thing and I'd imagine its quite embarrasing.

[BobcatBenny]

I sort of think ... ol' Benny ... might be part Lesbian. :D

All my Tshirts have a tag that say, XXXL? :confused:

Exactly! This cant be the 1st time in "it's" life that "it's" sex has ever been questioned.

I don't know why they're all acting so shocked by all of this.......her name is SEMENya. How much more clue do those people need?

in the article i read it said that ''IT'' has no ovaries or wound. Even if it doesnt have a FULL "male genitalia", doesnt that mean its NOT A WOMAN. This is ridiculous, it shouldnt have even ran with the women in the first place. ''It'' as well as its coaches knew what they were doing.

Without a doubt, I'm sure....:)

[SintonFan]

I posted this on the other thread...

I'm not saying I don't feel sorry for her too. I do. We can all be compassionate about her condition.
What few have brought up is that if she is a hermaphrodite, she then has characteristics of both male and female. The male body and female body are very different with different hormones for each sex. If in fact, she has testes then she produces the hormone testosterone(naturally I might add and more effective). I do think that would give her an unfair advantage over her female competitors... testosterone helps to build and maintain muscle, that's the main reason why men on a wide-scale have more muscle than women. I don't mean to put down any woman but this is fact.
Her having tested testosterone levels within an accepted standard doesn't really say anything(the standard is from where?).
The tricky question about all of this is this: Did she or her family know about her condition before she ran? I don't know myself, but some of the answers from her family members seem to be somewhat incredulous...
I have joked about this, as many have,
but that doesn't mean anyone is trying to hurt her personally. Too many questions surround this unique situation imho to truly know what is going on. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt but I think the jokes that have happened because of this are just that... jokes.

So yes I think we can joke about this...
My goodness this story is everywhere you can't avoid it. What the heck are we supposed to do? Just ignore it and NOT comment?

[wimbo_pro]

Sad that her most personal info is plastered around the world. But, she cannot run with the women, it is totally unfair to them. Kind of a depressing story. Good luck to her.
