Just found this regarding the Olympic Women's 800m Final: It was a hideous sight as the three brutish freaks out muscled the five real female women in the final, robbing them of their deserved medals, with (the lovely) Canadian Melissa Bishop visibly crushed to see her gold medal go to the grotesque Caster Semenya of South Africa.

Semenya also pushed Laura Muir out of the medals in the 1500m last night, great run by Muir but just pipped on the line.

now I am all for tolerance and equality but surely Semenya should not be allowed to compete as a woman

She identifies as a woman for athetics but as not socially - and has the athletic benefit of high testosterone levels that give her an advantage against other women

Seems a bit harsh, but whilst we only have male and female races it seems a bit unfair allowing her in the female ones

She has no ovaries and undescended testicles and levels of testosterone that some scientists have decided gives her a significant advantage

Because you call them brutish freaks. Those athletes are people, not freaks. They can't help that they have the medical condition that defines who they are, and they didn't give themselves clearance to compete in competition, the IAAF did that and they are the ones who should be getting grilled in this, but the athletes are the ones who suffer, having to deal with abuse from idiots and have their careers that they've worked just as hard for be called fake when they've done nothing wrong.

No sorry, my post reads , I JUST FOUND THIS

It was an article I was reading.

Thought it was interesting

I went on Sat morning to the athletics and I would suggest it was up there with the best sporting events I have been to. Brilliantly organised and the park is great. God knows why they let football be played there mind you as it is never a football stadium. Met the lady from the Bahamas who got cramp in the last 30m of the 400m when leading. So friendly and perhaps the next Mrs Burrows in my dreams,.....
