You know, it's a shame Lady Gaga is quite hot (assuming those rumors are fake), because she's incredibly, horribly stupid. I read an interview with her, where they were having lunch, and she said something to the effect of her provacative ways, skimpy dress and so on were to set her apart and make a statement, not an attention grab. Then in the next sentence she suggested that she should strip right there, "just to mess with people." It'd be easier to ignore her unbelievable stupidity if she weren't hot.

I never found her to be hot myself. That nose of hers is just epically huge. Not to mention her clothes are annoting and just make her look uglier.

If you really look at her pictures then you will eventually realize that she is not 'hot'. Not at all. I'd even call her ugly.

If true, the thought process there confuses me. "I want to be the best, but I'm just 'pretty good' against the guys... Maybe I should hide my penis and pretend I'm a girl! Brilliant!"

I think this is a case where she may not have an expressed penis or testicles, but is still genetically male, and produces male levels of testosterone, adrenaline, and so on, and responds to stimuli in a male fashion. Hence her build and muscles.

Looks very strange. Also, I find it hard to comprehend how it takes multiple medical professionals several weeks to determine someone's gender. I bet her boyfriend is in a strange place right now.

Whether or not the genitalia are expressed or not, everything else screams "I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help not running slow."

I agree she looks like a man. At the bottom of the article, it talks about how some people are calling racism. Some people need to realize not everything is race related. White or black, if she looks like a man, she needs to be tested

http://www.sportsscientists.com/2009/08/caster-semenya-male-or-female.html It complains that this issue has followed her for her (relatively) short athletic career, and that this question should have been answered long before the 800m final (which she won by about 2.5 sec) It actually talks about some of the science issues here. As far as genetic testing goes, what if she comes back XXY? (This is rare, but it happens.) I'd like to briefly point out that she is still ~3 sec away from the world record, and elite male runners would beat her by a minimum of 8 sec. (That is about the entire home straightaway.) So it isn't like there haven't been other women to compete at this level, there just aren't any around right now.

"Today officials at the world athletics body, the IAAF, revealed that it ordered her to take a gender test three weeks ago. IAAF spokesman Nick Davies confirmed the tests were taking place, though he said the results would not be confirmed for several weeks." How does it take so long to figure out if someone has a penis?
