Caster Semenya World Champion
I would like to state how disgusted I am at the way that people have been gossiping about our World Champion Caster Semenya.
Thats all that it boils down to, Malicious Gossip.
For those who do not know, Caster Semenya is a world class athlete who has just won a Gold Medal and is thus the World Champion in the 800m.
But instead of the world celebrating her victory, gossipers and know-it-alls have all jumped upon the bandwagon and selfishly stolen the moment that this extraordinary young woman has worked so hard for.
Whilst other young girls her age were out partying and having fun, Caster was training hard and making extraordinary sacrifices, so that she may represent her country and be given an opportunity to compete at this level.
Do you not understand that she is the World Champion. She deserves to be treated as such.
Firstly I believe that if the IAAF, wanted to do any “tests” to prove her gender, they should have been done before she competed, as to spare her the embarrassment and the indignity of this circus. Plain and Simple.
If they were under any genuine pressure or legal obligation, they should have conducted themselves with the discretion and dignity fitting of such a “prestigious” organisation.
They have basically stolen, from Caster and from our nation , the pride and accomplishment of beating the worlds best.

When we failed at the Olympics … we all wished that we had a star like Caster to bring us home a gold medal.
Now we have one, what do we do ?
We drag her name and her dignity through the mud and ruin this special occasion for everybody and bring the wrong type of media attention onto all her friends and family.
Those who have contributed to this disgraceful and pathetic media circus , should be ashamed of themselves.
I somehow believe that they have no shame and that as long as there are people with as little regard for the feelings of others, this type of thing will never end.
Wait until it’s your child, I bet you will be singing a different tune when it’’s their feelings that are being hurt or their dignity being trodden through the mud.
Caster Semenya, Our Gold Medal World Champion and Pride of South Africa – We Salute you !!
Come down to Margate and we will take you fishing and get your mind off all of this nonsense.

I can think of many performers who have soft and so-called feminine features
and until you are pulling them off their stages and podiums, demanding to see their penis,
you will remain a hypocrite in my eyes.

Well done Shane, its about time that somebody stood up for poor Caster.
Since when is being “butch” a disqualification from being a woman.
Caster Semenya is our World Champion and I am very proud of her.

I completley agree. Nothing like losing with honour or dignity. So you or the person u were cheering for lost get over it. Competition is about talent and speed not looks! and obviously she has it.
obviously, and i didn’t know this, that “Butch” in Africa means “being a man”. everyone on the entire continent of Africa is in LOVE with this dude, running next to women and stealing THEIR glory. my critique and opinion is NOT racist either! second place is a very dark skinned Kenyan girl. and i’m FINE if she or ANYONE of her “ilk” were to win this and other events. but let’s race apples against apples and oranges against oranges, PLEEEEEEZE!??
these poor young ladies have been training the better part of their lives to achieve their goals, for whatever reasons they have for doing so. and along comes an abnormality that pulls the rug from under them…
there is NO racism involved in this. this is a great decision to gender test this person. there has been MANY cases of fraud throughout the days and you know what?
i ALWAYS side with the innocent victims in the situations like this. it was done to that Indian dude in ‘06, and SHE was proven to be a HE! sometimes there are fraudulent contenders. as a citizen of the US, i’ve grown up watching marathons where the winners were driven within a mile of the finish line. HORRIBLE!
and as a man who loves women, i find nothing but empty contempt for any one person, let alone an entire culture, that tries to convince me that “Miss” Caster is ACTUALLY a woman. proper genitalia or not.
He (Caster) rocked the time SO badly, there is NO QUESTION that he is not what she claims to be. and it doesn’t make sense either. cuz what does a country like South Africa have to gain by putting this athlete through this? for Caster’s sake, there better be a hefty contract that brings jobs to the nation!
and if the people in charge of South Africa believe that this was a good idea, more power to them.
i’ve been on multiple blogs that keep screaming “racism” and pulling race cards and talking the rest of the world down like the people with eyes and YouTube can’t figure this one out!!??
if Caster Semenya is a natural woman, then i’ll never listen to another Aretha Franklin song the same way again!
please give the sports fans of the world a bone, Caster. a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T, if you will!
you have a MAJOR talent and i’m sorry you were raised in a situation that would put you in a HORRENDOUS situation like this. this is NOT your fault. and i can’t imagine what you are going through right now.
I think it is unfortunate that our humanity has not yet developed into the consciousness of love and acceptance but rather displays this degree of intolerance. This rhetoric of indifference exposes our need for a paradigm shift in our awareness. It is dirty and shameful that in this new millennium, with all the technological advancements, we are evidently primitive in our thinking. If it is true that as a man thinks, so is he, then we are still wallowing in an archaic era of perception. Just imagine that chauvinism and stereotyping is the norm rather than the exception. On behalf of a higher state of consciousness and as a citizen of the Kingdom of God, I apologize to Caster Semenya and her family. This is indeed a bitter sweet victory. What is most disturbing is that here in South Africa, the month of August honours women. I would like to dedicate the poem I wrote in honour of Women called “WOMAN” to Miss Caster Semenya.
WOMAN
Woman
God’s generosity to man
You are divinity
The essence of our humanity
Your emotional intelligence is superior
And your threshold for pain is inconceivably greater
Chosen as the vessel that transports life from eternity into time
You possess the wisdom to reason and the sense to make up your mind
The magnificence of your beauty bewilders me
For I am your sunshine and your shadow simultaneously
You are my weakness as much as you empower me
Even for my bondages you possess the key
Your love liberates me as it imprisons my attention
Because of you I experience ecstasy in a realm without dimension
I am enlightened by the lessons of your sensitivity
And humbled by the sacredness of your sensuality
Your elegance intoxicates
Your splendour motivates
I am enslaved by your grace and finesse
And seduced by your gentle caress
Your charm mystifies me with enchantment
Rendering me helpless with endless wonderment
Your sophistication captivates
It enthralls, it fascinates
I am blessed with eyes to behold your radiance
My heart pulses acceptance
You are kind, caring and forgiving
Gentle, loving and understanding
This is a tribute to your femininity
It praises your strength, your essence, your divinity
Woman thou art Wonderful Opulent Magnificent Anointed Nurturing

Congratulations to Ms. Caster Semenya on her incredible athletic feat. Not so long ago there were issues of dire urgency which demanded the world’s attention, most of the West Africa lay bare as AIDS strip her land of humanity while hunger, famine and disease rape and ravish her land and I could go on. People get with your priorities.
