SEX IN DOUBT


A committee will determine the sex of controversial record-breaking South African runner Caster Semenya:
IAAF spokesman Nick Davies said the "extremely complex, difficult" test has been started but that the results were not expected for weeks.

The verification test requires a physical medical evaluation, and includes reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist and an expert on gender.
Why is a psychologist involved in determining someone's sex? What the hell is a "gender expert"?

Damian is unintentionally amusing so much of the time. He provides a valuable service here.

It was indeed headline news but today it's wrapping up fish and chips - except with the right-wing blogs who are still making a meal of it.
