What level of male chromosomes will make a female be considered a male? Any doc in the hse? Surely this Semenya lady has male chromosomes in plenty.

WOULD RATHER DIE FIGHTING 4 MY RIGHTS THAN LIVE FOREVER WITHOUT ANY RIGHTS

Let the girl run.

So what if our darling Janeth is under threat. That is the nature of competition. She will get over it and get better or leave the race to the true runners.

No changing of the gender goal posts can remove the fact that Caster is a very talented runner,one deserving to step in the great Maria Mutola's spikes.

@magigi

You r right. You dont need a doctor to confirm this. Even the blind can touch and tell the difference.

I offer my services to sample. I will definately share the results.

It is a difficult case... being female scientifically depends on absence of the Y chromosome. There are many people with Y chromosome who have female physical features. These could be due to insensitivity to some hormones or lack of some enzymes.

the other extreme are females who have male genetic make up...live all their lives as females only to found as males during infertility investigation. A more common form is high levels of testosterone in some females which could be genetic. This is a common form in some parts of the world. The athletes rights should be considered as not everyone would like to have examinations. Moreso,if she is either of the groups,does she want to know and mess up her life when she has been living as a lady. I wonder if she would be put through this if she was a white blonde from western europe. We ve also heard of the easter european groups.!!
