Man to win women's 800 metres gold in Berlin tonight?

[PaulB]

So it must have had it's penis cut off? Because if it was a man then surely all they'd have to do was check it for a penis? No?

Some men have incredibly small penises. If you get a chipolata hiding in an overgrown bush, you probably wouldn't see it!

 

[willhub]

Well they should have the rights to shave there bush...

Er... seriously though there are people who are either not fully developed or who have the sexual charcteristics of both sexes, bearing in mind that at a certain stage in the womb we're all the same. What to do about these people?

He/she is clearly dark haired , so any question of her sexuality can be judged on whither Greedo selects her, or not, for the Lovely Ladies thread. Greedo doesn't reject many non-blonde ladies.

Having just done a 'google' on this one. There does not seem to be a substantial body of comment against her. She appears to be a hermaphrodite, and from my limited search on the net, this makes here eligible. I know that the Daily Mail likes its men as men and its women as women, but I really think this is a storm in a teacup and a classic Daily Mail oooh aaah story. I mean the photo of her 'literally flying' - how else do you run? Indeed, everyone in the picture is 'flying'.

So in sum, I think this is Daily Mail bollox as usual.

Hermaphrodites aren't uncommon. However, the majority of hermaphrodites have vestigial sexual organs, or other signs, which allow relatively easy identification.

Are such organs really referred to as "vestigial"? I've only ever encountered the term used in relation to structures that, whilst "normal", appear to have evolved so as to lose their function, for example goose bumps. It may be correct, I just haven't encountered the term used that way and am, er, curious.

Thank you Rigid Raider and User for bringing some sense to the debate.

Further, chemistry and biology aside, just because she doesn't fit someone's image of a women, it doesn't make her male.

 

[Chuffy]

Well if it wasn't good enough for Princess Anne....

That's because they were afraid that she would actually turn out to be a horse.

What? She's hung like a horse? Does Daley Thompson know?

Judging by submissions I think a Greedo Girl also needs to have big tits.

Ms Semenya certainly looks and sounds very masculine

Both MrWC & WCMnr, who are both male & both are not aware pof the controversy, looked at the vid and said, "That's a man!"

She looks like a male version of Didier Drogba.
