I’ve been lobbying against and writing about discriminatory regulations against intersex women athletes since South African track star Caster Semenya was banned from competition in 2009, and I’m happy to be quoted twice in the article, “Track authorities move to again bar women with naturally high testosterone from competing,” which provides an in-depth look at the current efforts to reinstate regulations for women athletes with naturally high testosterone levels (called hyperandrogenism).
