Caster tested XY46, which means Male, with undeveloped genitals. The IAAF did not base their ruling purely on the fat that she has X3 the normal testosterone of a female. She has male chromosomes, internal male organs (instead of female ones), as well as active androgen. If she tested XX, she would not have had to lower her levels. Gender and biological sex are two different things. You can chose our gender, you can’t chose your sex. Caster is not biologically female.. This has nothing to do with racism or homophobia. as much as Caster and South Africa would like people to believe. It has to do with biological sex, and in sport it matters. If people want to claim Caster is a women with a natural advantage, then women with XX chromosomes and ovaries has to be seen as having a natural disadvantage. Athletes like Caster needs a category of their own, or run with the men. I also don’t believe making these intersex or male athletes take birth control pills to suppress testosterone is right, as it would be bad for an XY individual to take medicine designed for a women’s body.
