Af hverju giršir hśn bara ekki nišrum sig og mįliš er dautt?
Af hverju giršir hśn bara ekki nišrum sig og mįliš er dautt?
Margir spuršu žessarar spurningar og enn fleiri hugsušu hana žegar sį kvittur komst upp aš Caster Semenya, 18 įra stślka frį sušur Afrķku sem vann óvęnt 800 metra hlaupiš (1:55.45.) į heimsmeistaramótinu ķ frjįlsum ķ Berlķn fyrir nokkrum dögum, vęri ekki stślka heldur karlmašur.
En žvķ mišur er mįliš ekki svona einfalt. Kyn ręšst vķst ekki lengur af gerš kynfęra fremur en kynhneigš. Til aš greina kyn hennar (ég lęt hana njóta vafans og kalla hana "hana") svo ekki verši um villst veršur hśn aš ganga ķ gegnum margar lęknaskošanir og rannsóknir.
Sumar žeirra eru ansi flóknar. Aš žeim verša aš koma hol-lķffęrasérfręšingur, kvenlęknir, sįlfręšingur, litninga og erfša-sérfręšingur og innkirtlafręšingur og vaka og hormónafręšingur.
Gullpeninginn sem hśn vann fékk hśn aš taka meš sér į skilorši. Ef hśn greinist sem kvenmašur fęr hśn aš halda honum. Nišurstöšur ķ hinum margžįtta rannsóknum sem hśn veršur aš gangast undir er ekki aš vęnta fyrr en eftir nokkrar vikur.
Ég lęt hér aš fylgja nišurlag greinar į ensku af taragana.com. sem fjallar um mįliš.
About 1 percent of people are born with some kind of sexual ambiguity, sometimes referred to as intersexuality. These people may have the physical characteristics of both genders, a chromosomal disorder, or simply have ambiguous features. People who have both male and female organs are hermaphrodites.
Until 1999, the International Olympic Committee analyzed chromosomes from saliva samples to confirm the gender of female competitors and prevent men from masquerading as women. Other sports organizations have called the tests unreliable. The tests were scrapped before the 2000 Sydney Games.
The most common cause of sexual ambiguity is congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an endocrine disorder where the adrenal glands produce abnormally high levels of hormones.
In women, this means a masculine appearance. They may have female sexual organs, but the ovaries may be unable to produce estrogen, preventing the growth of breasts or pubic hair.
There are also several rare chromosomal disorders where women may have some male characteristics. Women with Turner syndrome, which affects about 1 in 2,000 babies, typically have broad chests and very small breasts. Their ovaries do not develop normally and they cannot ovulate.
About 1 in 1,000 women are also born with three X chromosomes. They tend to be exceptionally tall, with long legs and slender torsos. They usually have female sexual organs and are fertile.
A handful of athletes have typically dropped out or been thrown out of the Olympics for failing gender tests over the years. But no evidence supports the idea that such competitors have an unfair athletic advantage.
