What to call this thread?

[Shiftless2]

Caster Semenya isn't the only cis-female athlete to be banned because their natural testosterone levels are too high. (I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they've all been black. )

And it wasn't that long ago that (white) female athletes were complaining that black women shouldn't be allowed to compete because they weren't feminine enough.

Which brings us back to Ms. Semenya - I've seen people comment that the reason the IOC decided to pick on her was because she's not exactly attractive. And she's gay (a butch dyke if you prefer).

The language of science is mathematics, right?

What objective scientific quantifiable standard should the IOC apply here?
- - - - -

There seems to be a double-standard here.
- It's asserted that they're beyond normal range:

"their natural testosterone levels are too high" S2 #1,481

- Yet we simultaneously assert they should compete as a woman.

A third category might seem to make sense, BUT !
there probably are not enough such 3rd category competitors to complete a contest.

S O !
We've defined the problem. What's the solution?
