BBC Caster Semenya Q&A: Who is she and why is her case important? 15 Nov 2023

 暫く、あまり発言(ないしこの件についてのメディア露出)がすくなかったSemenya。DSDとそのスポーツでの取り扱いについて語り始めたと。

For the first time in several years, Caster Semenya has spoken publicly about her experiences as a world famous elite athlete born with differences of sexual development (DSD).

In a series of media rounds in the UK to promote her new autobiography, Semenya has discussed her childhood, her early career and her ongoing "fight" with athletics governing bodies around the rules that prevent her and other DSD athletes with elevated testosterone levels from competing in women's elite races.

Semenya argues that her "human rights" have been infringed, but World Athletics, the sport's international governing body, says that "fairness and the integrity of the female competition" must be prioritised "before inclusion".


 オリンピックで二度も勝ち、世界チャンピオンも三度という強力選手。

Caster Semenya is a two-time Olympic champion and three-time world champion over 800m.

 生物学はジェンダー・アイデンティティに上位する―という競技団体側の意向は、しかしさてどれほどDSDに適用されるかなあという問題はある。まあその、男性ホルモンの数値を下げろというのは、まあ…アリかなあ…どこまでを「自然」と見做すか…うん…。

"Biology has to trump gender identity," athletics' governing body said in a statement welcoming the decision.

 でまあ。活動方針をスイッチするぞ、と。

Semenya said on 7 November that she would be switching her focus away from the track to focus on "fighting" what she described as "injustices" in the sport.

"My future is to fight injustice, fight for inclusivity and diversity," she told the BBC, adding that she wanted to "pave the way and make sure each and every young girl is treated well".


 活動家方向。まあそうなるのも尤も、理由は十分理解可能である。

Semenya is not the only athlete with differences in sexual development (DSD) in her event, let alone in her sport.

Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi and Kenya's Margaret Nyairera Wambui, who finished second and third behind Semenya in the 800m final at the 2016 Rio Olympics, were also born with DSD.

All three athletes were ruled ineligible to compete in the rearranged 2021 Olympics in Tokyo.
