Yes, because women know that there's absolutely no point reversing into the parking bay because, when you come out of the shops and want to stow your purchases, it makes access to the boot very difficult.
yes you're right - as a legal gender confirmation technique it would never stand up in court (if indeed she has one)
Exactly!!
When will the world wake up and realise that it ISN'T as simple as male or female?
For those of us with intersex conditions everyday life can be pretty difficult. I probably look just as masculine as this woman but my birth certificate says I'm female and I identify as female. It's just peoples prejudices and preconceptions about what a woman SHOULD look like that cause me to be challenged about my gender nearly every day of my life!
The most recent one was being questioned about whether it was MY debit card because it said MS instead of MR!!!
This should not have been made public, how humiliating for Caster
There have been more famous cases. The Dutch all time champion in the '50s, Fanny Blankers Koen refused to compete against Foekje Dillema, whom she accused of being a man.
Another case is that of Santhi Sounddarajan. A suicide attempt was " blamed on gender, economic, and sports pressure in India".
I've been waiting for years for a bit of classics humour, we haven't had any since the latin thread a long time ago. :D:D
Having heard her talking I think there's a slight possibility for her having some intersex characteristics but then there isn't the intersex 800m and she isn't a man. People come in all shapes and sizes (the Canadian Silver Medallist in the Women's 100m hurdles reminded me of Nadia from BB), so who knows I guess the tests will clear up the position but the way it's been handled by the IAAF has been atrocious.
Couldn't agree more..... They are still human, just like everyone else.
Can't understand why people take the pi$$ when it comes to issues of gender and sexuality. We are supposed to have evolved past the dark ages and the freak shows.....

LOL I've been caught out THREE times by her. I always forget it's a woman speaking until I see her.
Too busy doing athletics. Don't think they're bothered about not having tits.
I know, can't be very plesant for her.

Perfectly put. Couldn't agree more.
I she was too slow for man, they go round 800m in what 8-10 seconds quicker than the ladies waddle.

I'm sure that I read that women who train hard will stop menstruating. Maybe that will put hold on their physical sexual development?
Intersex are among us. And they need loving too.

She looks like a woman to me.
Which explains why she can run so fast:o
I fully agree.
I also agree that she looks like a woman. It's the face and the eyes... seems feminine to me.
I agree, I think her all face and expression is feminine.
