Värt att påminna om Caster Semenya, sydafrikanska 800-meter löparen, som inte klarade kraven på kvinnlighet. Saxat från Jezebel.com här under.
The issue has been a hot topic in South Africa ever since 21-year-old
Caster Semenya won an 800-meter world championship and her competitors
called her out for her "muscular biceps" and "husky voice." "These kind
of people should not run with us. For me, she's not a woman. She's a
man," said Elisa Cusma, who placed sixth in the race. Some might think
Cusma sounds like a sore loser, but the IAAF has decreed that women like
Semenya must have surgery or receive hormone therapy prescribed by an
IAAF expert medical panel if they want to continue to compete, because
they have an "unfair advantage," said Dr. Stéphane Bermon, coordinator
of the IAAF working group on Hyperandrogenism and Sex Reassignment in
Female Athletics. "More muscle mass, easier recovery and a higher level
of blood red cells."
Påtvingade hormonbehandlingar, känns lite öststyskt på något vis. Verkligheten måste vara lite jobbig, typ för tjejer som har muskler.
