She is in every determinable way a male, and it is sad the way she has learned this. Even sadder how the South African athletic president knew of this, and denied it to the bitter end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-41915526285786657232009-09-20T05:40:48.541-04:002009-09-20T05:40:48.541-04:00In 1950 a Dutch girl was also expelled after a sec...In 1950 a Dutch girl was also expelled after a secret gender verification. A very tragic case. Foekje Dillema also had a Y-chromosome and internal testicles. She was the opponent of the late and great Fanny Blankers Koen.<br />Foekje did not dare to leave her house for two years after the test.

But I'm also wary of a website created without her consent: isn't it another way to meddle in her life? Lots of celebrities have fan sites, but Semenya didn't exactly choose to become famous for her body.<br /><br />On the other hand, since she's already been forced into the public eye, maybe getting this support will help. I don't know; in any case, I wish her all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
