The Importance of Embracing Differences in Women's Sports

Kaster Semenya, an Olympic gold medalist and world champion middle distance runner, discusses the challenges she faced due to having high testosterone levels and being born with XY chromosomes instead of the typical female XX. She emphasizes the importance of accepting and embracing differences in women's sports, pointing out how men's bodies are not policed in the same way. She advocates for women to have a say in defining women's sports and criticizes the attempts to regulate and restrict athletes based on testosterone levels. Semenya is hopeful for the next generation's ability to be themselves and fights to protect the rights of those with differences in sexual development (DSD) in sports.
