No makeover is going to hide South African track star Caster Semenya's insides from on-lookers. Results from those "gender tests" show she has no ovaries, internal testes, no womb, and ultra-high levels of testosterone.
What does of any of this mean? That Semenya is intersexed — which, while a curious revelation for the media to pounce on (especially because they get to use the word "hermaphrodite"), is not all that abnormal.
Fascinating blog!
