And of course you can't comment on the article to complain about them using a picture of Caster Semenya. Caster is not a woman. Caster is also not trans (the sub headline is about imposing testosterone limits on TIM athletes).

Testosterone boosts Caster's performance because Caster is male.

Are they though? It sounds like Caster has an intersex condition and their sex is not quite determined. Wikipedia says they have XY chromosomes but it seems complicated, idk. Do we know for sure?

MarkTwainiac and others go into great detail on new findings and unbroadcasted findings on Semenya.
