Your book was released just as a storm began brewing over South African runner Caster Semenya’s “true” sex. What do you make of the situation?
Caster Semenya is psychologically a woman. She has apparently always been treated as a girl and thinks of herself as female, which is why this whole controversy must be extremely difficult for her to assimilate with the whole world watching. She could be suffering from any of a number of intersex conditions but was apparently unaware anything was amiss until she suddenly appeared in the World Championship in Berlin.
