CASTER MOKGADI SEMENYA ‘NO’ TO IAAF REGULATION PETITION

In this case there's one thing that the world seems to be missing when they tell me "these regulations are there to protect women and girls in sport". This thing is the thing nobody wants me to talk about; nobody asks me about it in interviews and in conversations I endlessly seem to be having these days: Caster Semenya is a woman. That is the simple truth. Believe me or don't believe me it remains a truth. For an association claiming to not care about classifying her as anything other than a woman the IAAF sure puts a lot of emphases on the fact that they need to protect women and girls in sport. What are you protecting them from? A woman who has a perfectly natural advantage over them? Why don't you try to protect the men and boys in the swimming pool from Michael Phelps? Why did you not try to protect the men and boys running against Usain Bolt from the dominant competitor with a clear competitive advantage? Why use the phrase "protecting women and girls" if who you are really trying to protect them from is just a better female athlete? If that's the case then are you really protecting the sport or are you damaging it by allowing the mediocre to become the norm instead of the extraordinary. Because that's what Caster is. She is extraordinary. She defies the norm and she does it because regardless of western societies views on femininity and herself, she is a remarkable woman. She inspires girls to pursue their goals regardless of what others think. She is the true image of what an athlete should be… you are all just too busy looking at her appearance to notice. #NaturallySuperior #HandsOffCaster #WeStandByCaster

Caster is a complete woman. She never created herself and she cannot be punished for excellence. Leave Caster alone...

Stop human inequality , caster has the right to human dignity and privacy.

Semenya!8

Caster should not be victimised because of her skin colour this has never been done to a white person but just because she is black she gets to be victimised

I as an African stand with Caster and fully support her!

No more

They should stop this nonsense and let Caster to compete on her rightful female category
