I agree, Simon. Is there no concern for this woman's feelings? I could see by the interview how self-conscious and embarrassed she is by the publicity.

Something is wrong with this entire situation.

Thanks Simon! How awful that her life was so violated! People are born the way they are and I will never understand those that can not accept that!

"Legislation discriminating against same-sex couples having the right to marry also commonly discriminates against intersex people.

Most intersex people identify either as male or female. Intersex people who are legally identified as male or female can marry the opposite sex. Yet a minority of intersex people do not identify as male or as female but as androgynous. These people, as well as intersex people who are same-sex attracted, are denied the right to marry by legislation that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

The campaign for equal marriage rights is commonly seen as a “gay marriage” campaign, yet we could do a lot more to embrace the concerns of intersex people. This would strengthen the unity of the campaign, and could increase the political confidence of intersex people."

I hope this young intersex woman, Semenya, comes out of this finally, realising that she is a HERO to some formerly-neglected people.........!

Simon, I don`t understand! She is a woman and they are judging her because they don`t like the way she looks like? Who cares about her looks! she is a human and deserves respect. Jesus Christ!

So disgusted...

What do you mean, Juniper?

Thursday November 12, 2009, 8:37 am
My bad, Simon-I guess that could be taken a couple ways...hopefully you all know me better-I'm disgusted this is even an issue. Why wait till she wins, then start all this hoo-ha up in public and destroy this 18 year old girl. The extent of the tests that had to be made to determine her as intersex and implying she cheated? It just pisses me off. No one yanked Billy Jean Kings trophys.

Thankyou for explaining, Juniper : )
