For some-more info: bit.ly In which John discusses lane star Caster Semenya, sports, passionate identification, inner testes, the play on words fundamental to life, as well as the capricious manners of the competition which cannot house such ambiguity.

Ambiguity means vagueness.
good video.but is not as good as the one i found in worldxxx(dot)tk
Your point is well taken. There are basically two choices: people born with both sex organs can either compete against men (with a slight disadvantage) or women (with a slight advantage). The whole point of classifying by sex seems to bring out more competition, since men are generally stronger, faster, etc… So there is already a policy of allowing the weaker sex to compete in a special category. Sexually ambiguous people, a very small percentage, are also weaker and did not choose to be so
that is true we should accept them. but that doesnt mean we should allow them to compete with an unfair advantage. it is a PRIVILEGE to compete on the highest level in sports, not a right. therefore its not “punishing” Semenya to argue that she should not compete against women. If anything, its punishing the women who WERENT born with that advantage to allow her to compete against them.
Cool background on Semenya, I didn’t know any of that. BTW, she’s definately a “middle” distance runner, if that’s at all significant at this point.
Paper Towns in paperback, try saying that five times fast.
you know were straight cuz were doing your mom FOOL
Hey there. What does ambiguity mean?? I was confused the entire time. ahaha, anyways, GREAT VIDEO!
What does ambiguity mean? By the way, thats ten words.
Yes, I think it is unfair to punish Semenya for something she didn’t choose. Even if 1% of the population has these issues, they don’t appear to be a huge issue in the sporting world since this is the first time this has ever happened. (There was the case of the sex-changed tennis player years ago, but that was a matter of choice, and therefore completely different.) If someone is born with cross-gender issues we should all accept them as they are, and not punish them.
dude that was great
very insightful and very true
Correction: Her testostorne levels were three times higher than the average famele, but not high enough to be considered equal with a male.

serendipity
(i kno – competly non-related)
That black chick in this vid is so hot I cannot stop having a wank every time I look at her. Who is she?
Paper Towns: Its more than just paper
Love isn’t just a word it’s an experience. Live it.
All your Katherines, Margots and Alaskas are belong to us.
Especially since “that’s” is considered two words. Shocking, right?
