[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Should men be allowed to compete against women in women's sports?

Disorders of sexual development can be devastating. Especially since they're often hidden and many societies are very uncomfortable with it, leaving people without an understanding of what's going on. I understand that often people with DSDs don't even find out until something goes wrong later in life (such as trying to figure out why puberty isn't going as expected, or they aren't able to have children).

There is no easy answer here. Reasonable people can see harm happening no matter what the decision is.[/quote]

How is that relevant? Caster Semenya is a woman. Should women be allowed to compete against women in women's sports?[/quote]

She’s intersex.  I don’t think she’s publicly commented on it, but I believe it’s assumed she has a condition where her genes are XY, she has internal testes, and no ovaries or uterus.  It’s insane to have this conversation without acknowledging that component. [/quote]
