Intersex world champion runner wins appeal over testosterone levels | DW News 

An anthropologist, this should have been addressed by a: medical endocrinologist and by a PhD level exercise physiologist. What a sham, DW News unprofessional.

why do Intersex athletes have to compete in female competitions ? why not have a separate category for them ? It is not fair sportsmanship to ban testosterone doping for athletes and at the same time allow Intersex athletes who are naturally testosterone doped to compete in the same competitions. Let them compete with the men if they must, or give them a separate category according to their level of doping.

That's not fair at all. It's basically a dude competing vs women.

So much hate in this world. When’s the last time we heard of an intersex athlete? How many intersex athletes are at this level of competition, this level of training and dedication to her sport? This one person out of thousands of women is not a threat to anything. She will eventually get old like any other athlete and retire from the sport. We’re not talking about a flood of intersex women competing so just accept her for who she is.

Depends if you want to interpret those studies ideologically or scientifically. It is well established that higher levels of testosterone (approximately 10 times higher in males than females) in puberty are associated with increased muscular mass and bones mass .

Ban sports

Next, we'll see Robots and Cyborgs in competitions and they will crush us. What a world!

Destroying feminism. One nick at a time.

There is actually a good reason that there is a divide between Men"s and women"s sports, just consider the muscle stack on that "Person". They could just make a new division for Special People

Its unfair and unjustice, let them race with other intersex athletes, why these system soo doomed?

These matters are starting to become complicated..

Just do the 3rd category for weirdos and forget about it. Nobody will watch it

This judgment affects the right of a woman. Just as there is a separate sport for disabled people, a separate sports competition can be held for transgenders, but it is wrong to make transgenders compete with women.

NO DOPING IN SPORTS

Man scam, this says much about women's right and respect, equality

_"Caster Semenya is used to winning. After all __*_he's_* a world class athlete"_ But he only "competes" in women's races (otherwise known as cheating), so we don't really know if Caster is world class. Let's see how he does in the men's races.

They are not saying her condition but if she has androgen insensitivity syndrome then the testosterone doesn't work in her body correctly anyway. Having a higher level for someone with androgen "insensitivity" syndrome means nothing if her body doesn't process it correctly.

Rip Feminism

Incredible piece, DW. What about the rights of women that worked since they've been babies for these achievements, to end up competing against a man that's been on steroid his entire life, compared to the women's testosterone levels. Unsubscribe for such a shameful piece, with no opposing view in the studio, on such a topic.

You know this is the most disgusting epoch for our species, we have literally digressed backwards a few thousand years

Interesting that DW is happy to keep such derogatory comments on their channel . People calling this female athlete "it"?...

Honest question: Are there such athletes who compete with men? Or do they just wanna increase their chance of winning and always identify as women?

ITS A MAN

The guest is full of it.

Human rights harms? What about the human rights of actual women?

This is silly. Humans rights? What about women rights? How about another opinion? The guest is lying.

Ridiculous.

Sorry, didn’t see much contributed by Mrs Karkazis.

I do not know enough about the issue to comment on the whole story but I want to point out this quote of Mrs. Jordan-Young: "The lense through which we talked about and debated these policies which has primarily been a scientific one has been to the disadvantage of considering human rights violations and what this decision does is put human rights violations front and center". So screw science and fact. Feelings of people is the new post-modern deity.

She should be a press secretary.

Amusing.

Why not compete according to what's between the legs, not according to sexual orientation?

She's actually a man just look at those biceps

Solution is easy, just refuse to participate!

Talk about having balls! 😜

Give them their own category, that's exactly what we've done ever since.

You know it's bad when FIFA is considered liberal compared to your organisation 😬

That is good for the the mixture of her+him, but a crise for the game and justice. Boycott such games.

As much as I appreciate the moral spin of that decision: I fear that in future more female athletes will try to find their optimal testosterone level. We're looking forward to muscular, record-rich times...

This decision discriminates against all women competitors.

Cannot wait for the SI swimsuit issue

What is meaning of INTERSEX ? 🥴🥴🥴 Explain please 😮😮

Give women their sports back! 😠

✊🏾....I remember in Highschool how I always came out last during Athletics.And how they would fire the start line for women when the (boys) where half way through the course....And lol every time she would be the first female to pass me through the half way mark and finish before some of us. "She" always ran with Ladies.

they are fit to call Cowards than athletes.. 😁

FIFA=WC

Catrina=🙄

REMINDER THAT INTERSEX IS NOT AT ALL THE SAME AS TRANS

The world turn Crazy, one day and mark my words there will be mixed challenge, women and men so let them do it, that would be the answer for all problems🤪

sick sick sick and our gov proves it is sick too

why can't s/he compete against men

Victory of abuse in women’s sports.

Yes, it can compete with blokes, or it can tour as a curiosity exhibit.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Reminds me about the Southpark episode - Strongwoman😉

Nonsence

Jocking😂

Intersex is not the same as trans

A woman with higher T count than me??? 😳 💕 I Think I am in luv!.... I need protection

Identifying as something you're not, is called pretending. I know, my mom told me.

If you ordered a mail 😂ordered bride and that showed up you really got a male order bribe

*WTF IS INTERSEX* ????

Compation needs fairness. Agree human right violation. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌞🌞🌞

Semen 'n ya, name gives it away, not a chick

She isn't even trans. And yet y'all continue to complain and spout bigoted nonsense about trans people in the context of this lady. Y'all talk about how only people who were born women should compete in women's sports, then this lady who was born a women starts competing in sports, like y'all want, and y'all start screeching "MAKE HER RUN WITH THE MEN!!!!". What a bunch of petulant children some of you all are. She did not do anything to increase her advantages. If she runs and wins a race, she's won it fair and square. A lot of the world's fastest runners come from this particular tribe in Africa that has developed an evolutionary advantage over the rest of us, should we ban them from competing in sports? Usain Bolt was born with genes that gave him attributes allowing him to run fast that others don't have. Should we ban him from sports and strip him of all his medals? Should we ban really tall people from playing basketball? Naturally burly people from playing American Football? Why is it that when other people have natural advantages, it's fine for them to compete and it's seen as fair, but if someone is born with a natural advantage related to their hormone levels, you all start whining and crying? It's no different than the rest of the comparisons I've listed. It is a natural advantage, just like tall people playing basketball or burly people playing football.
