The South Africa sports ministry issued an announcement that 18-year-old runner Caster Semenya will keep her medal for winning the summer’s 800-meter run in Berlin, along with $60,000 in prize money and the title of World Champion. They did not discuss her gender status or if she will be running in future races as a she or he.
The following statement was pulled out of a article within the Forbes website:
She is not 100% female, and to be fair, she can’t race with the women--but neither is she 100% male, and it certainly wouldn’t be fair for her to compete among men.

In Africa, it is called female concussion. However in the developed world, it is called Female Genital Mutilation and hopefully to make it sound better for the ears.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how kind and well we may give it names the truth is female circumcision is a strong traditional ethic in many tribes in Africa. As is what`s called visiting the bush when girls who are reaching puberty are led to the gardens to use certain herbs to pull two little pieces of meat on the outer labia in order to have them long for proper stimulation when they get married. This and female circumcision has caused a stir in many young adults of the modern age.
Female circumcision is widely rejected because of the pain and also the benefits that do not help either the person mutilated or the husband to marry. Countries like Somalia, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and many other societies in Africa still practice the tradition today.
Questions have loomed why they mutilate and for heaven`s sakes what is mutilated. When I went home to Uganda my birth place, I did take the questions to the elders who explained to me what happened in those old days hundreds of thousands of years ago.
It happens that many women have a small part on top of their private parts called the clitoris. A Part, which is more sensitive than any part in that area of a female body.
And as a Medical-Biology Major, I decided to dig deep and find out what constitute to the sweetness of this wonderful part that makes women itch when turned on, this part that makes them ask for a turn to the bathroom when kissed in a restaurant and this wonderful part that sometimes get women caught scratching.
A larger clitoris resembling a small penis may have been the cause of female genital mutilation in many African traditions to keep young girls from being male and female at the same time.

I recall reading on this blog that in Africa female genital mutilation's were really witch doctors taking it upon themselves to get rid of the additional sex organ from people who were born neither male nor female.
The article above pretty much validate this as truth.

My investigation into the whole part brought me to find out what the old Sebei woman in Bugerere Uganda told me. In the old times when girls were checked for adulthood while reaching puberty, they found out that the girls had a penis like creature on top of their Vagina`s something that made the elders think that the female was abnormal. Having two organisms these days is a tough thought in our modern world. And though tiny and some invisible, the truth is that one cannot dispute the fact that many women have a little male looking part hidden inside them.
ReplyDeleteSome are large looking like a young boys un-circumcised penis sticking out when pulled and few just a simple pimple looking bump. This brought me to a consensus with my brain that in case this small piece of an atom " as I call it went to grow beyond it`s normal size, we end up calling that person abnormal or someone that has two genital organs well as the true fact is, it is just bigger than any other. And that`s my conclusion to my hypothesis and as I study and do more research the course of history my change for this wonderful part of the body many men do not even care to see, look at, touch or even caress because of ignorance. And if they only knew!
Oprah knew that they were chopping off the additional private part from a hermaphrodite.
ReplyDeleteThat school in Africa was created by Oprah for a reason and when Oprah opened the doors of this school she wore the color violet (or purple rather).

This discovery of a hermaphrodite! Oprah was presented with a opportunity to educate these people about hermaphrodites - their conditions but yet, she failed to do so.
Thеre's definately a great deal to find out about this topic. I like all of the points you made.
