    "I just want to run naturally, the way I was born." Caster Semenya is trying to block a rule that seeks to limit the permitted testosterone levels in female athletes in races over certain distances.https://nyti.ms/2ykLCgp

        Is she biologically male or not? Yes, there would be an unfair advantage for any biologically born male to be competing against other women.

        High testosterone levels in a female athlete, naturally occurring or not, gives an unfair advantage over the competitors and the effect is similar to doping.

        Replying to @monoglare @nytimes

        So being born with a natural biological advantage over your same-gendered counterparts should disqualify you from competitive sports? This is a very slippery slope. If we keep pushing in that direction, we'll be creating testosterone classes for competition. Terrible idea.

        It disqualifies all other competitors instead. As you said yourself we are talking about competitive sports and a plain field is essential to have fair results.

        Should we limit the allowed height of basketball players so that people like me who are 5'11" can have a better chance? Of course not, that would be ridiculous. If it's her natural level and she isn't doping, let her compete.

        Depending on the advantage gained by her natural high testosterone levels her competitors can either quit or accept to play a supporting role only. Political correctness is dominating this issue.

        She's biologically female. She hasn't chemically altered her body. She's not taking testosterone. Why should she be punished for the way her body functions? It's atypical, but she hasn't done anything wrong. It's like complaining when a middle schooler is 6'5" & plays basketball.

        Why certain distances. Either there is an advantage or not. If there is, make another category but stop with persecuting this particular woman.

        Have always been intrigued by this case."I just want to run naturally,the way I was born" is such a powerful statement,ironically filled with agony & anguish over the way this issue & her career has been handled all along.
