So Caster becomes the poster boy of the "new" South Africa. A country that once led the world in medical and transplant science - now incapable of providing the most basic medical investigation (an ultrasound) to a young person clearly showing signs of abnormal development. Instead they knowingly parade her on the world stage with the puerile hope that the world would be duped. What idiots. Like the leader Zuma believing a shower could prevent his Aids after raping a young woman. What a travesty - for a country to attain a pretense of social morality at the cost of a total loss of leadership intelligence and integrity. Welcome to the Union of Zimbabwe.

She's intersexed, people. And there's not one damned thing wrong with that. We're always trying to fit people into a narrow gender box. Not only are people physically born out of this dichotomous gender conceptualization, they are also emotionally and mentally born out of the dichotomy (or come to this place). She can choose to be and live how she wants.

If Caster goes on estrogen replacement therapy and has the internal testes removed (which should be, because they can become cancerous) then I cannot see any reason why she cannot continue her sporting career. She would then be no different to any other female-identified XY individual. There are post-transition females, identified male at birth who compete in womens sport. Renee Richards the tennis player was one, the famous golfer we heard about recently in the news another.

But you are right Trinity, it is not up to any of us how Caster proceeds with this news. She can live any way she chooses as a person.

Caster Semenya should not be placed on trial — it's our society's outmoded perspective on gender that's due for an overhaul. That race for equality won't be won until we're all free to safely cross the finish line together.
