Dont you remember ToucanS2K's serious post about how
well she was right... it is just a very muscular girl...................with testicles

 

I do wish that people would keep straight the meanings of "sex" and "gender"; they're not synonyms. I suspect that someone was too scared to say "sex" one day, searched for a euphemism, hit upon "gender", and all the other people who were too scared to say "sex" followed suit.

What was being tested was Semenya's sex, to determine whether Semenya is male or female. Cater Semenya's sex was determined to be male; whether he has gender or not depends on the language one speaks.

Gender is a property of nouns in specific languages: masculine, feminine, or neuter; e.g., "hand" (mano) and "table" (mesa) are feminine nouns in Spanish.

 

see what happends when an english major is also a moderator

 

 

Whats the other Spanish word that ends in an "o" that is treated as feminine?

So if she gets her boy ovaries removed will they let her compete as a female?

 

If you read the article... they say they probably wont let "It" compete anymore because of health risks regarding the situation

 

Masculine or feminine, male or female, one thing IT is not is 'sex.' Yikes!

 

Don't be so mean to the manwoman

 

Sorry.... didnt mean to offend your people Raj

 

The "menwomen?"
