What does the DNA read though does it read like a girl or boy?  Oh they won't release that for another bit.  Great they shouldn't be able to yank the medal it is not the kids fault they were born with both.


Crazy world.

Well if that is true then the DNA test should show she is more male then female and then they could yank her medal I would suppose.

Be interesting to see what they do, I see the international version of ACLU climbing on the band wagon.

If she has a history of being physically identified as female, and was raised female, and has spent her life defining herself as female, then she should be considered as such.

I agree, unless they can prove that prior testing was done and they knew more about her health or physical being than they pretended not to know. It will be interesting...

No uterus no ovaries but has testicles that produce testosterone, and not just a little bit either, enough to grow facial hair, deep voice, and muscles that of a man. That is a MAN, MAN, MAN! And he ought to be ashamed of him self for running with the girls! He should be running with the men!

All females have some level of testosterone depending on existing medical conditions.. polycystic ovarian syndrome is prime example where the female exhibits higher levels of testosterone, thus problems with fertility.  There needs to be more research into her medical history before one judges this human being. Imperfect as she/he may be, she/he is a human being with feelings and before the media critics too much, more information needs to be gathered.

Yep, Boo.  I was away for a few days and didn't see the article that was linked.  What a strange story.  That poor girl is going to be hounded the rest of her life.
