Abstract

The article focuses on South African runner Caster Semenya's experiences and challenges related to her identity and participation in women's sports, particularly following regulations imposed by World Athletics regarding athletes with differences of sex development (DSD). Semenya, a three-time world champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist in the 800 meters, has faced scrutiny and legal battles over her testosterone levels, which led to her being barred from competing in certain events unless she underwent medical intervention. Despite these challenges, she emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and advocates for the rights of all athletes, including those who are transgender. Semenya expresses hope for future changes in regulations that would allow her and others to compete without discrimination, while also sharing her aspirations for a future in sports beyond her running career.
