71. why is everyone here calling Caster Semenya a girl?
Caster could just as equally be called a boy, and it is likely that a genetic test would show that Caster has XY chromosones like other hermaphrodites, indicating Caster is a genetic male. thus Caster should be competing in men's events, not women's, where he has an unfair advantage due to being a male. (At least if you buy the idea that sports should be segregated by gender; I don't).
