Clown World: Intersex Olympian Caster Semenya Claims, ‘My Testicles Don’t Make Me Less Of A Woman’
Olympic runner Caster Semenya’s recent interview with the BBC caused a stir on social media, as he confidently asserted that his testicles don’t negate his womanhood.
Discussing his biology after being born with 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency, which only affects males, the two-time gold olympic medalist defended himself competing in women’s events, despite having “internal testicles” that produce testosterone.
“For me I believe if you are a woman, you are a woman,” Semenya told the BBC. “I have realized I want to live my life and fight for what I think and I believe in myself. I don’t care about the medical terms or what they tell me. Being born without a uterus or internal testicles. Those don’t make me less of a woman. I am a woman and have a vagina just like any other woman.”
Semenya made similar comments last week on CBS Mornings:
The olympian’s comments were strongly criticized on social media, including by female athletes tired of men having unfair advantages in women’s sports.
“Semenya is not a woman with high testosterone levels. He is a male with normal testosterone levels,” wrote swimmer Riley Gaines.

Others, including outraged women, reacted with similar condemnation, with some calling for him to give back his awards.
Taking full advantage of transgender ideology’s capture of our institutions, he knows perfectly well he’s a bloke.

Caster has a disorder of sexual development called 5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency, which ONLY affects males. There is nothing female about him.

Some pointed to the fact Semenya has fathered two children as evidence he’s a man pretending to be a woman.
Despite being classified as female at birth, Semenya reportedly has “46 XY” rather than the XX chromosomes women have, however he was raised as a female and presents himself as a “masculine woman.”
The Swedish supreme court in 2020 refused to allow Semenya to compete against women without taking hormone-suppressing drugs, however the athlete refused.
Semenya is on a media tour on the heels of his new memoir, “The Race to Be Myself.”
