I think it's getting old news. I post a lot of comments but surely there are waaay bigger spammers than myself.
I'm taking this to PCM.Court! Who will be judge and jury?  |

You should take it to Canadian court, they'll give you a slap on your wrist and an apology for taking up your time, ey.

Not sure where to put this, but I sure remember being laughed at on this forum when I said the difference between male and female wasn't that simple.
Two French scientists have been asked to study female track & field athletes who reached London OG finales and have high testosterone levels (Caster Semenya like).
Besides having males-like testosterone levels, they've found out that those athletes are actually bearing XY chromosomes, which is classical for males.
There are normally four criteria to be considered a male :
- first one is that the sexual chromosomes are of X and Y type
- second one is having testicles
- third one is to produce testosterone though those testicles
- fourth one is that testosterone has an impact during the foetal state
The athletes studied, and most likely Semenya, didn't meet criteria #4, so they didn't grow external testicles and were born as females. Though, come puberty, they started producing males-like levels of testosterone, making them grow more strength, 30 % more muscles than other females, and a bone structure that's male-like (females have wider hips, etc.), and more body hair too.
It also appears that a higher level of testosterone helps focusing on one point in particular, which is useful for 100 m runners.
I'm glad I don't have to say which category they should run in. |

I'm afraid it's all in French, though I've heard of similar studies being conducted in other countries.
Here you go, if you can read French :

That must have been for a reason 
not really, it was an impulsive decision after I got mad after some discussion in the cycling part.
I came back like 6 months later lol |
