"The International Association of Athletics Federations had demanded to conduct a gender verification test, the results of which are not yet known, on Semenya in the weeks before the race."

What do you people think? GG, post op TG? Surely not the most feminine bird out there...

Yeah, probably inter-sexed but mostly male characteristics and should not be allowed to run with females in my opinion.

How would you define male characteristics? There are plenty of GG's out there who are plenty masculine, but 100% naturally so (with no medical "cause" to explain it).

There's only one way to put an end to these gender-worries in sports; get a bunch of athletic FtM's and have them beat a bunch of professional GB athletes.

Yes I would say that so many of these "male" characteristics that people here see are just strong African racial features. She is either intersexed or just plain female.

Good point! Btw, has the test results came out yet? Her coach seems pretty confident they did nothing wrong though.

She obviously has both female and male external sex organs since reports say that her gender is ambiguous after her physical examination. Given that, the fact that she has male features such as deep voice, wider waist, stronger body, no breasts, etc. it is clear that she is likely more physically a male than a female. This is not fair to the female runners who naturally have much lower levels of testosterone on average than males.
