‘Half-Man, Half-Woman’ Vows To Fight Olympic Committee Banning Men From Female Events

An Olympic competitor who was born with ‘both genders’ says he/she should be able to compete against women.

Caster Semenya is vowing to fight gender testing for the female category at the Olympics, a policy the South African insists “undermines women’s rights.”

The International Olympic Committee last week unveiled the policy that is expected to become a universal ⁠rule for female competitors after years of fragmented regulation that led to controversy.

Semenya is described as someone with a ⁠”Difference of Sexual Development,” known as DSD.

DSDs are a group of rare conditions involving genes, hormones and reproductive organs.

Though some people with DSDs are raised as female, they have XY sex chromosomes and blood testosterone levels in the male range.

The XY chromosome pair determines male gender, with the Y chromosome triggering male development.

Inherited from the father, the Y chromosome pairs with an X from the mother, setting the gender to male, versus a female who has a pair of X chromosomes.
