African Runner a Hermaphrodite?

September 13, 2009

A  CBS news article reveals that South African runner, Caster Semenya, is a hermaphrodite.  According to the article, she has no womb nor ovaries.  They also reported that her testosterone level is higher than most women.  This case interested me from the beginning.  It is going to be part of discussions how sex and gender roles are defined.  I look forward to hearing more about Caster’s life prior to her ascent to world champion.
