Semenya Article:
I'm really glad that Semenya is appealing the unfair, sexist, and racist ruling by CAS. Semenya and her peers with differences in sex development are legally women, and therefore should be allowed to compete in women's sports. Differences in development affect most winning international athletes - it takes much more than hours put in/work ethic/dedication to become a winning olympic athlete. It takes genetic advantage. That's obvious in so many ways, but Semenya is being targeted because she is a Black woman who doesnt fit into the ruling body's standards of femininity. I hope that this case will resolve in a just way, though I don't expect a positive outcome.
Gaia theory:
I definitely think that the earth is a complete, living organism. It's hard for me to understand how and why anyone would think it wasn't, but I know that many people just see it as a random rock to exploit for their petty personal gain.
