4 ATHLETES OF FAMOUS INTERSEKS

in #steemsport7 years ago

Intersex in sports has generated great controversy. In particular, those who compete as women are often seen as having an advantage in strength, stamina, speed, or size. Often, these people have been publicly humiliated and described as freaks and even fraudulent and physical examination targets that violate their personal privacy and dignity.

Sort:  

Intersex players should be banned from competing in either the mens or women categories. Instead, they should have their own special category. Most of these intersex players usually convert their gender so as to compete as women, hence have unfair advantage over normal women since most of them have male like bodies !

Iam sure for your opinion @bitbizke
