If you don't qualify, you don't get to participate, end of discussion.

I agree completely. Semenya shouldn' t be allowed to compete in women' s leagues regardless of what they do to their own body.

The point I was making was that I find it gross that anyone would tell someone to alter their body for sports. I remember a conversation I had in the old debate sub about the legitimacy of breast reductions to play sports. I think if you need to go under the knife to play a sport, you should find another one, not decide for surgery. Similarly, Semenya shouldn' t get this surgery fo a ton of reasons, and they should still be banned from women' s sport regardless of their decision.
