Intersex? What the Heck?
You don’t know what intersex means? Well, don’t be embarrassed, because it’s something that’s been kept under wraps. Intersex is a person who has sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit with male or female parts. It can be a combination of both sexes; a girl may be born with boy-like parts. Intersex has a 1 in 2000 chance of happening. Since this is such a small statistic, sometimes people never even know they have it.
Wikipedia has Miss Semenya mentioned in their article about intersex. Since only speculations have been thrown around, and nothing has been proved legitimately; Wikipedia chose to respect her privacy by not adding her to the list of famous intersex persons.
With accusations that Caster Semenya is intersex, controversy has risen very quickly. Rather than being just a girl, doctors question if she’s a girl with a boyish internal body. Specialists have categorized people into three categories: male, female and intersex. Which one do you think Miss Semenya belongs in?
