    The heartbreaking aspect of this is that athletes like Chand or Semenya come from remote parts of their countries and they have immense difficulty understanding what a gender test is, who a trans person is, or what is testosterone in the first place.

    ...do they though? Is there a quote from them saying this or is the author just making shit up in a really patronizing way?

      It sounds like a significant part of the population everywhere has trouble with that

        Eh even if that's true then its not that deep for some person from a remote place try and participate in bifurcated sports. But don't expect compliance to bizarre eugenicist shit.

      People can just read about things with an open mind. Definitely patronizing.

      do they though?

      Caster Semenya is from a large town in South Africa, Polokwane, the capital of its province. Population 130k

      Definitely not "remote" by any stretch of the definition. Straight up racism by the author

      They don't cause a broad chunk whoever buys what's written will take it for granted. Oh a person from third world, probably doesn't know how to read. It confirms what they believe so they publish it and some people will read it as "Yeah that makes sense"
