Caster Semenya Gender Controversy (Photos, Video)
Athlete Caster Semenya is involved in controversy regarding her gender after winning the women’s 800m gold medal at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Berlin on Wednesday (August 19).
IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender test after her muscular physique and amazing performances sparked speculation that she is, in fact, a man. She does look like a man and for the sake of the competition, I think it’s fair to raise the question and do the tests. Of course, there is the possibility she is neither a man or a woman but a hermaphrodite.
The results of the test, which include a physical medical evaluation, along with reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist, and an expert on gender to resolve issues of ambiguous genitalia, might take weeks but her family has guaranteed Caster is a woman.

I feel bad for her, she can’t help her condition and she probably has been mocked all her life. At least she can be finally do something that she can be proud of.
why is it “fair” to do a test? Shouldn’t the olympics change it’s sexist ideals and make all games genderless?
Yes there is an investigation pending to confirm her gender, But as a woman, please explain to me how you can say she looks like a man, and for the sake of competion. You must have been one of those girls who never had to deal with “tomboy” issues. I have and think that it is a little insensitive for you to post that sentence. Your article would have been better without that. That just goes to show that people are so blind that they dont see thier own ignorance and does so by posting thier Name.
[...] South African 800m World Champion, Caster Semenya, whose gender has been the center of a major controversy, is, in fact, a hermaphrodite. Caster, who has shown to have higher than average levels of [...]
[...] Caster’s family and several South African politicians have come out to defend the athlete and accused the media of being “racist and sexist” for insinuating she looked masculine. [...]
What people have done and said about Caster is really not the way to act as human-beings.
People aren’t meant to be the same, we are all meant to be different.
I can feel the pain Caster is feeling.
Just imangine people thinking you are a boy when are a girl, and they make it world wide for everyone to know and see.
That is just not right, people should except people the way they are
Even if you think his a man, he is still going to be a human-being. NO DIFFERENCE
Keep living your life Caster, follow your dreams of running and don’t let anyone get in the way of it.

Everythings happens with a reason.. God knows why things are like that.. he says whatever he has done let no one point a finger on that.. people are forgetting that in bible it is said that.. if you will punish a widow God will take you away and he will let you children and wife experience that same pain you caused her.. same in life.. now semenya is the headlines…who knows whether tomorrow those people who are investigating here gender, one like her will be born in their families.. What will they do???. they should think twice God can do many things in their own family.. what do you they will feel when it will happen to them..God was right when he brought semenya in this world…. thinks big you people and stop trying God he can do many things.. and you can get ten like semenya in your life what will you do…
