Semenya, 18 is a South African middle-distance runner and world champion. She has three times the amount of testosterone that a "normal'' female would have. . Testosterone is a hormone responsible for building muscles and for producing body hair and a deep voice. And here is the question...she’s a man or a woman? She’s forced to take gender test.
She told for a magazine "God made me the way I am and I accept myself. I am who I am and I'm proud of myself."
Is this a gender persecution? Yes it is. So what if she have muscle, Caster is not the only woman athlete with a masculine build.

What is the issue you are looking at here? Gender discrimination in professional sports? You need to be clear about your topic and your stance. You also do not address what you hope to learn in your research and your target audience. Please write another topic proposal that meets the requirements.
