You may recall that Caster Semenya ignited an international storm after winning the women's 800-meter run at last month's world track & field championships and the gender verification process that was already underway before the event. The South Africans have argued that Semenya has been unfairly mistreated, and put up like the old Hottentot Venus.
Caster Semanya has appeared on the cover of South Africa’s You Magazine with a complete makeover designed to silence critics who insists the 18-year-old athlete is really a man, Jezebel has learned. After coming in first in last month’s world track championships, Semenya was famously subjected to a battery of gender tests to pinpoint her sexuality once and for all.
Four inside pages also show Semenya in a variety of stylish outfits, including leather pants and a sequined top — all of which You says Semenya wanted to buy after the photo shoot. She even experimented with makeup and nail polish.
“I’d like to dress up more often and wear dresses but I never get the chance. I am who I am and I’m proud of myself,” Caster told the mag.
But some are finding it upsetting. As Owen Slot in The Times Online points out: "Why such a public statement about her femininity now when a team of scientists are simultaneously drawing conclusions that may not agree with it. It is indecently hasty when she could easily have waited until the science had been completed."
