Are leftist fantasists even capable of embarrassment anymore? Does self-respect even exist for them as a concept? As the all-out effort to force us all to pretend that men are women and women are men continues, the absurdities keep multiplying, but if you dare to notice them, you’ll risk being excoriated as a bigot and barred from all the platforms that allow for today’s public discourse with the possible but not guaranteed exception of Twitter/X. The latest game we all have to play is to pretend that South African Olympic runner Caster Semenya is a woman, which he has the b–, uh, that is, which he absolutely insists upon, despite having many male attributes.
Speaking in a rich and thickly accented baritone voice, Semenya said Tuesday: “You know, the medical terms, or what they tell me, or my testosterone, you know, being born without a uterus, being born with internal testicles — those don’t make me less a woman. It’s just differences that I was born with, and I embrace them.”
Well, that’s super, Caster, but it’s also ridiculous, which I know is a concept that is lost among today’s gender fiction-addled leftists. Now, to be sure, Caster Semenya is no ordinary man, and although he is frequently identified as a “trans athlete,” he isn’t exactly that, either. Caster Semenya is apparently one of those rare human beings who is actually sexually ambiguous; he has a condition in which “genetic males contain normal male internal structures including testes, but exhibit ambiguous or female external genitalia at birth; at puberty, they undergo partial virilization which includes development of a male gender identity even if brought up as females.”
Semenya’s birth certificate says that he is female, but testing in 2019 found that he had “circulating testosterone at the level of the male 46 XY population and not at the level of the female 46 XX population.” That gives him “a significant sporting advantage over 46 XX female athletes.” He has won two Olympic gold medals, and it is clear that he has a significant advantage over those against whom he competes.
Caster Semenya is also the father, or something, of two children with a woman who has been identified as his “lesbian lover,” Violet Raseboya. According to a 2020 article, “the couple first met in a restroom in 2007. The doping officials were escorting Semenya, and Violet thought that she was a boy. She reacted and asked the doping officials what a boy was doing in the restroom. Caster was defensive and replied that she was not a boy, and she was not lost. It took some time before they started dating.” Understandably! In July 2022, Violet “revealed they had undergone four unsuccessful insemination processes before conceiving their daughter.” Further details as to who exactly is the father of these children have not been forthcoming.
The happy couple’s private arrangements would be of no concern were it not for Caster’s high testosterone levels, which raise the question yet again of whether men who claim to be women should really be competing against real women in sporting events. Caster Semenya may have a better claim to be a woman than the usual run of trans fantasists, but he still has clear and obvious physical advantages over the women against whom he races, and as a matter of fairness to them and to preserve women’s sports in general, this sort of thing should not be allowed. Caster Semenya may not turn out to be an Olympic-grade runner if he were competing against other men, but plenty of other men aren’t, either, and this doesn’t give them a license to claim womanhood and invade women’s sports.
The case of Caster Semenya, with all his actual gender ambiguity, is a sad one. It only becomes genuinely absurd when the guardians of acceptable opinion insist that we all must pretend that nothing whatsoever is amiss here, that Caster is as feminine as Marilyn Monroe, and that anyone who suggests that he shouldn’t be racing against women is just a right-wing extremist. The totalitarian demand that we all play along with the charade won’t put any clothes on the emperor, or make Caster Semenya any more of a woman.
Women’s sports defender Riley Gaines tweeted (or X’d, or whatever) Semenya’s statement Tuesday with the comment: “Of course, this outlandish statement went totally unchallenged this morning. Semenya is not a woman with high testosterone levels. He is a male with normal testosterone levels.” It may be sad, but that doesn’t make it any less true.
The love story of these two clowns (Caster and Violet) was as ridiculous as it was confusing, and ‘Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care.’
From this article Caster Semenya seems IMHO, to be one of those very rare humans born with a condition that used to be called hermaphroditism, or a person born with both male and female reproductive organs, although I believe this condition was proven false many years ago.
Still it’s no excuse for forcing their way into female sports competition.
XY cromosomes, Case settled – man. Olympic games and World Champioships have no value anymore.
Hyper-androgynism and her birth certificate records her as a woman.
Not only does he have nuts.
He is nuts.
Let’s hope their child isn’t nuts.
His DNA makes him a man.
Maybe a third category is needed. There could be Men’s, women’s and Trans’ competition. That way women claiming to be mem could compete with men claiming to be women. Isn’t that fair?
Eureka! THAT’S the perfect Solution, which should satisfy everybody!
The main issue here is forcing normal people to participate in deranged delusion under color of civil rights laws. This and other leftist fetishes are nothing but sacrificing the normal to the abnormal and have no place in a free society.
The problem is – and THIS is the REAL problem: These guys really think they’re women. They’ve spent their lives fantasizing about femininity. It becomes a mental illness which is as strong as any heroine. They are sick, and many can’t be cured. The rest of society should not go along with the illness. Leftists are typically so screwed up themselves (e.g. Hollywood perversion) that they don’t understand the sickness of these lost souls.
Leftists and their maladies.
Of course, we now have a Biden-nominated. and Senate-confirmed, Associate Justice on the Supreme Court who “can’t” define a “woman” because she’s “not a biologist” (or even an Anatomist, I guess).
Although my degrees are neither–my B.A. and M.A. are both in 18th Century English Literature– (but was born male and declared to be a Boy by my mother’s obstetrician as he held me up by my hind feet, spanked me to start me breathing air for the first time, and congratulated my mother on the birth of a son, and will remain male to my final moments in life), I suggest a very easy, simple test–one that every boy and man would instantly understand:
Give this athlete a sharp, hard knee or kick to the groin area. If he/she/it/they have “a pair,” probably even undescended into an external scrotal sac due to an abnormality at birth, the individual will instantly double-over, screaming and groaning in indescribable agony and grabbing that “area” between his/her/their legs, and gasping.
A simple, quick, easy, non-invasive test, with no need for a phlebotomy and chromosomal analysis, or psychiatric evaluation, yes?
Well, that would have no effect on Caster Semanya.
You really should check your facts.
Her birth certificate records her as a woman.
Riley Gaines had to barricade herself in a classroom at San Francisco State to avoid an attack by the tranny mob, and for saying what any rational person would say about women’s sports. These people are not only nuts, they are dangerous. “Those who would have you believe absurdities would have you commit atrocities.”
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS KIND OF CRAZY UP.
TOTAL MENTAL ILLNESS AND DEMONIC IN NATURE
With reference to the title of the article: Why, yes sir, they do, in fact, make you no woman. Period (about which, you know nothing). Just sayin’.
The Olympics has long ago degenerated into a commercial venture and is now managed by wingnuts for the gender confused. The honour and integrity of sportsmanship has since disappeared over the event horizon.
When women refuse to compete against these men then this 💩 will stop.
Exactly. Denying reality is not the answer. When real, biological women walk off the field this will end and it won’t take long. It’s about time women stood up to these woke weenies who have diminished their status and, increasingly, put them in danger. I can only hope it won’t take the death of a highly competitive, strong willed woman to finally shine a light on this lunacy. We don’t need a martyr to see how wrong this is.
Where are the guys in the white smocks and butterfly nets?
They all work for the FBI now. You’ll find them lurking outside of churches and school board meetings.
I have bad news for you: Caster Semanya is a woman but a freak of nature with hyper-androgynism.
Caster Semanya is recorded as a woman on her birth certificate.
African magical thinking now available at your local day care or university.
The corrupt thinking in officialdom that is allowing cheaters to intrude into even the top level of competition. A guy who has already fathered two children can be a woman too. Reason is becoming extinct.
