OH REALLY....




I don't know if most people have heard about the runner from South Africa, Caster Semenya. She is only 18 and she won the 800 meter race by like 2 seconds (which is a lot). Subsequently, she was made to take a 'gender test', which includes a physical evaluation, gyno reports, seeing an endocrinologist (deals with hormones), psychologist, an internal medicine specialist and an expert on gender. All this because she's buff aka manish and she was blazing past all the chicks she raced against like they was standing still (lol, get it Caster).


How in the fuck, and when in the hell did being muscular and dominating the competition make you a man. When you enter any competitive sport on that level you have to qualify, send in birth documentation, weight, measurements, etc. So, why wasn't her gender an issue then? Plus, there are many people that look waaaay more womanly than her, that are really men. So, why don't they 'gender test' everybody if it's based on a need to know bases. Honestly, I do think she looks like a man, but so do more than 80% of the other woman that participate in muscle generating sports. Do you think anybody gave a 'gender test' to the manly looking chicks posted below??? And if they did, the whole world didn't find out about it. Shew.







And the thing that has me the most heated about the situation is the fact that if her gender did come into question, the testing was supposed to be done privately. Some fat ass (and yes I'm calling him a name because he is hella tacky) ran up to her asking her about being a woman or man. I would have told him to go hit a couple of laps then attempt to ask me question. His out of shape, out of breath ass wouldn't be able to say shit. He was hella disrespectful towards someone that didn't deserve it. He didn't catch her coming out of criminal court. She was out there doing something positive and productive with her life. People make me sick.
At the end of the day I feel like the whole situation is questionable. It was handled unprofessionally, and was down-right inconsiderate and cruel. Because let's face it she is going to be the butt-end to every gender joke. SNL probably already has a skit ready for taping. Even I fell victim to cracking jokes on the young African. I asked "Who needs a gender test when her last name, asked and answered the question: Semenya= Semen? Ya." (all you slow people will catch that later). But, I have since turned from my wicked ways. In, addition the "media' aka 'the devil's rejects' has already thrust her onto a magazine cover with a dress on and some make-up. And she looks just as much woman as Serena Williams. Oh, yea the test came back: SHE IS A WOMAN....I swear people make me sick,
