Given all the chemicals in our environment, future generations will have higher percentages of intersex people. We need to get over the stigma.libhomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537213558568338561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-42273329714755821882009-09-13T02:19:09.058-04:002009-09-13T02:19:09.058-04:00I'm sure the gay games would welcome her.
man...I'm sure the gay games would welcome her.<br /><br />many individual competitions are about the end results and this ultimately segregates. <br />But really, isn't it about doing the race, and not about winning or loosing.Michael★https://www.blogger.com/profile/14980421158832439077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-74952587479709355632009-09-12T21:59:47.429-04:002009-09-12T21:59:47.429-04:00The way this whole situation is being handled just...The way this whole situation is being handled just reminds me of one thing, humans NEVER fail to disappoint.

I hope she gets to run again, or do something else that gives her joy. It's appalling that she is now internationally known for the state of her genitalia and not her athletic ability! Perhaps Seminya can overcome the depression, find a way to compete again, and become a hero and advocate for other intersexed people. Perhaps the rest of us will learn from this. But a teenager who just wants to do something she's excellent at and isn't hurting anyone shouldn't have to become a "learning experience."CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-84841373400014905992009-09-12T10:31:00.312-04:002009-09-12T10:31:00.312-04:00CNN is reporting, "...intersex..." this ...CNN is reporting, "...intersex..." this morning. The reporter showed no knowledge of what it means. I hope this will become of learning opportunity for we mere mortals. Bad news: They said she is contemplating suicide and has "disappeared," perhaps never to run again, in front of crowds. How sad that would be. Can we NEVR evolve as humans? Must we stay so damn dumb?Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.com
