erynthered Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Nice job! "Suspected athletes will be evaluated from their external appearances by experts and undergo blood tests to examine their sex hormones, genes and chromosomes for sex determination," This brings on a whole new meaning of " Go !@#$ yourself" Edinanci Silva Born with both male and female sex organs, the Brazilian judo player had surgery in the mid-90s so that she could live and compete as a woman. According to the IOC, this made her eligible to participate in the games and she competed in Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens in 2004. In Sydney, she beat the Australian judoka Natalie Jenkins, who raised the issue of Silva's gender in a press conference, constantly referring to her as "he". "I have never fought that one before. My plan was not to grip with her, she's - he's - very strong," she said. Silva gave a mouth swab to officials, which proved she was female \http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/jul/30/olympicgames2008.gender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do hermaphrodites fit in? Transgenders always say they are the other sex then what they were born as, but they aren't really In this case, its tough to agree or disagree with the competitor that made the complaint because what is a hermaphrodite? Are they a Man with female parts, or a Woman with a penis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they WILL offer a menu worthy of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here including deep-fried scorpions and sea urchins, cow stomach, turtle and brains in a hot pot. Visitors can still buy meals featuring dog in a number of the city's restaurants or chow down in Beijing's first speciality penis eatery. At the Guolizhuang penis restaurant, brave food fans can order horse penis and testicles with a chilli dip or lobster with donkey penis. They can also splash out on the delicacy of seal penis, which can be snapped up for a mere £200 plus. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1485120.ece </H2> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
