I thought it might be valuable to upload my slides from #PTG2019 on the Caster Semenya case…the slides will follow in the thread below. 
1. Caster Semenya was born and raised as a woman, but was outed as a "Woman, but maybe not 100%" by the IAAF's Pierre Weiss in 2009 when she was 19: reuters.com/article/us-ath… #PTG2019
2. The IAAF plays its trump card. Changes #DSDRegulations - only apply to the 46 XY karyotype, allowing it to argue that they apply to 'biological males', who have an advantage due to the action of elevated T on the development of their physiology from puberty onwards… #PTG2019
The great @Hogshead3Au on confronting Olympic abuse in a meaningful way:
"It's not the dictator. It's the dictatorship."
Translation: it's not one bad guy (Nassar, Blackmun), it's the entire Olympic system that lets atrocious practices thrive.

@Hogshead3Au Here are some other stray thoughts from today's panels at #PTG2019...
@Hogshead3Au “We looked at cities who built NFL stadiums and found that they raised rents 8% and wages dropped 4%.”
