The Caster Semenya story is one of great confusion and, quite frankly, one of complete jealousy and inconsideration. As far as I’m concerned Miss Semenya is not the most attractive ‘woman’ on the planet (which may have been her ‘downfall’) but according to her, "God made me the way I am and I accept myself. I am who I am and I'm proud of myself" (http://alturl.com/74i5). It seems whenever it comes to South African sporting pride and any occasion where a South African holds any sporting advantage over the competing field, our old school rivals find something to complain about. I’m talking about those arrogant Australians.
Boldly jealous claims made by the Australian media confirm their deep seated envy for our supreme sporting heritage. “Semenya could be stripped of the gold medal she won in Berlin last month and her competitive future is in limbo, according to Australia's Daily Telegraph.” (http://alturl.com/74i5). Claims that Semenya is a Hermaphrodite are not scientifically just and strictly speaking most people are unaware of what a ‘hermaphrodite’ scientifically is, but claims have been largely accepted. “The first point is to clarify some terms, which I think have been used rather loosely. The article says that Semenya is a hermaphrodite who possesses internal testes but no ovaries or uterus. Strictly speaking, Semenya is NOT a hermaphrodite, she is a pseudo hermaphrodite (which is itself an inadequately broad term).” (http://alturl.com/jyrv)
In my opinion Semenya has my full support and I think the rest of the athletics world should learn to catch up!
