1. Semenya is not trans 2. Semenya wins bc she’s incredible 3. There are many biological advantages; eg. height 4. There are many social advantages; eg. nutrition as a child due to wealth of family 5. We don’t split competition due to 3 or 4 6. This is bigotry masking as concern https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1119131011735064576 …
I'm trying to read through, but this author makes a weird move near the beginning. She says that there are no healthy women who have testosterone over 5.0, defining Semenya as either unhealthy (which seems really dubious since she's an athlete in top condition) or not a woman.

How would you feel if women were defined as menstruating, and therefore all women who worked out hard enough to stop menstruation were barred from competing? I believe this applies to most female athletes, and is as reasonable as the "must have ovaries" standard.

Also, the author says that people who disagree with her are "gender activists". I'm not a gender activist, but I support Semenya's right as a cisgender woman to compete without unnatural drugs suppressing her body's natural production of a natural hormone.

about this, so im asking,HONESTLY, could someone explain to me how it's fair to either female sports, or transgender athletes, if they compete on the same fields? im not being condescending, i truly have no clue how this is supposed to work, for either....
