The Many Ways To Be A Woman // The Independent

Caster Semenya, the 800m runner who won Olympic gold at London 2012, has been unfairly discriminated against for years because she challenges perceptions of what it is to be a woman by daring to have a testosterone level higher than the average.

Last week, over 60 professional athletes, with fairly impressive sporting titles from two-time Olympic gold medallists to world champions, penned an open letter from Athlete Ally and Women’s Sports Foundation demanding the IAAF rescind their flawed discriminatory testosterone policy. 

I stand firmly alongside these athletes in the pursuit of an equitable and inclusive athletic experience. I shared my views on the issue here : https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/caster-semenya-london-anniversary-games-iaaf-testosterone-oestrogen-sebastian-coe-monaco-a8458101.html
