Caster Semenya - Interesting Case

[Clint Lando]

High T level not a woman

another interesting twist is the occurrence of genetic chimeras. people who show two chromosomal genotypes ie. 46xx vs 46 xy. depending on the tissues which are used to genotype. if a non-disjunction occurs during fetal development, depending on timing, some tissues could be either or. so genotyping traditionally thru a blood sample ( mostly leukocytes) could show one genotype whereas the other genotype is found in androgenic tissues.

Genitals are not the absolute definition of male or female. It really down comes down to chromosomes. For the vast majority of the population males and females are simple to tell apart.

With population of 7.8 Billion people, there are more than a few strange mixes of chromosomes. Caster Semenya is not female. There are 6,500 genes differ between the sexes. If a human has Y chromosomes, they are male or intersex.

Some humans just don't fit the mold of male or female.

Prefer the hyphenated spelling. Seems more appropriate - especially since it’s SA and they still use some Boer terms.

Semen-ya.

I Googled the text from one of Landry's four posts. Word for word from a separate site.

Joined a week ago. Posts are benign but on topic.

If Landry is a bot they are getting better at it.
