I wonder if any of the people that have been writing about Cassie Samenya’s gender have stopped to consider where she comes from. Her parents live in a small village outside of a rural town in Northern Limpopo, which is about 400km north of Johannesburg.
There, a school teacher spotted her running in races at the school, and from there, she progressed to where today she is in the middle of this huge controversy.
I am sure if you had to ask her what the difference between gender and sex was she would probably not have an answer, let alone testosterone.
Anything that may be uncovered in these supposed tests are entirely her own business. Can you imagine being told that you are not a woman when everything you see is female!
I believe the journalists have been completely insensitive to her as both a woman and an athlete competing out of the bush of Africa.
