The IAAF continues to hide behind their discriminatory rules while they attempt to dictate the bodies of female athletes. Their silence is a pathetic refusal to acknowledge the harm they are causing to Caster and the future of women in sports.

The IAAF continues their pathetic attempt to control women bodies but this surge of support shows they are losing their grip. We are building a movement that refuses to let these bureaucrats dictate who belongs on the track.

I sign this petition in order to support an amazing athlete that has been mistreated because of her gender and race by putting her own health at risk.
The IAAF should be stopped from implementing discriminatory regulations . Gender testing is inhumane and cannot be allowed in sport .
As a female athlete I support Caster. She was born that way. She was born female. Forcing her to artificially lower her testosterone is offensive and discriminatory.
I feel that it is not fair on Caster that she is the way she is, she was born this way! why must they use science to change who she is. so basically we saying she is not normal, what is normal.
Stop with sexist arguments against athletes that actually do well. If she came second would this be an issue. She works hard and she deserves to be treated equally
Caster is a woman. Stop discrimination.
THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATION THAT EUROPEANS DONT TAKE US SERIOUSLY. DONT DO IT CASTER, PERIOD!!!

The classifications under the Paralympics give a clear answer here - those women who can't compete against Caster, should run in their own grouping (e.g. an equivalent similar to the T38, T44, etc. classifications).
