Let Her Run

2019

Part of my final thesis project at OCADU.

Why do we focus on testosterone levels in female athletes? There are so many other advantages and privileges, genetic and otherwise, that affect an athletes performance. We choose to draw a line here because athletes like Caster Semenya don’t fit into our preconceived notions about gender. Semenya has faced years of tests, questions and speculation about her gender because she doesn’t conform to our ideas about women’s bodies.
