Only on the internet can you find idiots who think anyone in the real world won't laugh you out of the room if you say "but a vagina can be male!" or vice versa.

Sometimes I wonder if the problem with the internet is that people can't hear how absurd some things are if you'd say them out loud.

Actually he should have a vagina of sorts.

Anatomy basic here: we all start off with a vagina like area. When a fetus gets exposed to DHT it makes it seal up and turn into a penis. That's why penises have that line on the underside running down the balls like a seam. It's where it sealed up.

Semenya doesn't make DHT, so he's almost certainly got a vagina. It's probably not connected to anything, and it may be short or narrow, but he'll have one.

It's quite normal for CAIS males to have one.

His balls will be floating around in there somewhere...

He doesn't produce dht, a

That’s no more a vagina than saying men have breasts because they also still have pointless nipples. Foetuses also look like tadpoles for a while but we’re not supposing that we’re actually misshapen adult frogs are we.
