Olympic Champion: My ‘Testicles … Don’t Make Me Less of a Woman’

Alana Mastrangelo 8 Nov 2023

Double Olympic champion middle-distance runner Caster Semenya claims to be a woman, despite being born without a uterus, adding that he “embraces” the “differences” he was born with.

“At the end of the day, I know I am different. I don’t care about the medical terms or what they tell me, or my testosterone, you know, being born without a uterus, being born with internal testicles — those don’t make me less of a woman,” Semenya said.

well, while we are doing all this identifying, how come no one has declared themselves the King of this or the Queen of that?

Because just identifying as something does not make it so.

[Wingnut]

Well you cant argue with that kind of logic.

Its testicles makes it a member of the East German Womens Olympic Team.

I got a feeling those East German Swimmers in the 76 Olympics would have kicked his ass so hard he would have coughed up his balls and spit them out.

Semenya is one of those vanishingly rare people whose phenotype and sex chromosomes have never coincided.   The gender ideologues want to draw an equivalence between such people and those who are under the delusion that surgery, hormone treatments, crossdressing and being called pronouns corresponding to the sex into which they have made themselves a simulacrum will make them the opposite sex that they (for whatever reason) long to be.  There is no equivalence.

Semenya was raised as a girl because she (yes, I'll use that pronoun in this case) has, from birth, had female genitalia, with her gonads located in her body cavity where ovaries usually are, even though they are testicles.  Cases where the person's natural phenotype and sex chromosomes do not coincide require compassion, not ideological exploitation (by either side).

Well I don't know about king or queen of this and that, but there sure is a $h!tload of men declaring themselves Queens. I t seems most of these self identifying queens are the ones that just can't compete against other men like themselves.

Irony is, dude doesn't realize that being able to 'identify' yourself as whatever you want is what allowed people to enslave others like his ancestors because they identified as superior human beings.

Right... this person is intersex right? Not the same as a trans, and IMO possibly the only legitimate "third gender", some people are born with both sexual characteristics and genitalia. For "her" to compete against actual women is pretty questionable though.

Exactly. This is not the cause celebre the trans lobby should adopt. Caster is, sadly, a freak of nature, and shouldn't be the poster child for LGBTQ rights.

Either that or they fit Andrew Dice Clay's definition of homosexual, but want something they regard as having less stigma in their minds.

If her external genitalia is naturally female, then calling herself female is apropos. Perhaps there are undescended male organs inside, but ordinarily, those hang in a scrotum. She would pass as a she, despite having the other hormones naturally.

In this instance, external natural expression of sex prevails, and her situation is one of genetics, not of choice.

[Wingnut]

Okay. Is "It" a hermaphrodite?

[andy58-in-nh]

It takes balls to say something like that.

And if pigs had wings, they could fly.

There's a War on Reality going on, and truth is getting its ass kicked.

I don't care if the huevos haven't hit the ranchero, is there a dangle twixt the angle? And also what chromosomes are in play?

That is exactly the circumstance.  There is a phenomenon called androgen insensitivity (including an extreme version called complete androgen insensitivity in which the child develops in full female form including a womb, despite having XY chromosome pairs, but is sterile since the gonads are testes rather than ovaries).  Semenya seems to have a "milder" version and developed with female external genitalia, but not a womb (which surprised her when her condition was discovered -- she had previously hoped to have children).

While you are right, she shouldn't be a poster child for the gender ideologues, unfortunately, I'm afraid they will adopt her case as a cause celebre.  Cases like hers and people born with ambiguous genitalia, who in the days before genetic testing would always be declared to be girls, since the surgery to make them look like normal females was easier, are the "scientific basis" for their nonsense about "gender assigned at birth", when what really happens, aside from the vanishingly rare cases of ambiguous genitalia, is that sex is observed at birth.

[Smokin Joe]

If they were swinging like 'truck nuts', they would.

This is a special case--and not a good 'case study' for the trans crowd to harp on.

"My testicles don't make me less of a woman" - Caster Semenya

The fact that this statement can be taken seriously in a culture is pretty strong evidence that the psy-ops are working. Mass hypnosis is taking hold.
