Caster takes gold

airborne said:
The very fact that Caster is so far off from the historically fastest women/times makes it clear she has as much advantage as any other genetically gifted lady athlete, if she was smashing the wr left right and center then perhaps it would be easier to empathise with this sorry bunch of losers but she's not.

Well put.

By that logic, let lower tier men compete.
 
Just got off the phone. They said you need to be Female. That's like, the FIRST rule that they have.
When I asked about Semenya, they called me a hybridophobe, and put down the phone.

I have no idea why you're so butt hurt.
 
This article contains information about a likely explanation for Caster's congenital disorders.

Are you sure you heard right? It wasn't something like a bigoted misogynistic homophobe?

Because she's not white, and not European probably. They need to have separate events for black people, that way I can compete also.

That's why I just sit at home and watch this schit at home, because I don't stand a chance

I don't remember critiquing black athletes with a clear gender, despite their obvious biological advantages.

We were just waiting for you to get to that, just speeding up the process. Go ahead.....we're listening.

Slow and steady doesn't usually win the race, only in fairy tales.

Listening? I said I'm not going to critique them, because we all know that individuals and ethnicities are born with advantages over each other that would give them a potential edge in particular events.

That's not something that the olympics segregates against, and it shouldn't. It segregates based on gender, for obvious reasons.

By medical standards she is a woman, which is defined by chromosome count. Medical professionals have identified XY chromosomes and not XX, which means she was born a female.

That is the only definition that should be used. XX= men's race, XY = women's race.

If they had this testing to begin with there wouldn't have been any controversy and Semenya would have just been another lucky person with the right genes.

And you're an expert on gender now? ;)

Tell us about Caster's medical records doctor

Just a correction: XX = female, XY = male. I wanted to respond to jingaling but thought someone would have done it already...

Yeah, me too.

But that's possibly about to end with XY (males) being allowed to compete against (XX) females as long as they 'self identify' as female.

Give me a break, humans.
