blather: claiming my peeps

[arrow00]

As a woman who sang bass in choir, who was so flat chested she got teased in swim class, and whose voice changed when she hit puberty (oh fun), I claim Caster Semenya as my peeps and say the ass hats demanding a gender test before they award her the gold medal should go stuff their ideas of gender into the tiniest orifice in their bodies they can

A-effin'-men! I know a number of women (and frankly wish I was one of them, being of the exact opposite build) who are very lean and athletic. Women can come in ALL shapes and sizes and levels of athletic ability; and the sore losers who who are bitching right now need, IMNSHO, to take a chill pill and get over themselves.

the more I read the more I'm appalled. it's also apparently a little bit of a race thing, which I wasn't aware of. but these gender challenges tend to come more toward athletes from African nations (why am I not surprise? I didn't realize, but I am not surprised.)

your icon is made of perfect.

It used to be directed toward eastern European athletes back in the day (I remember a LOT of pissing and moaning every time one of them won a medal in the Olympics). You don't like the race/ nationality/ gender ect ad nausem... then they CAN'T be as talented as your team. Jerks.
Oh, and thanks for the props on my icon. You can make some really cool ones at http://www.says-it.com/. They also do the really cool church sign designer there.

Agreeance. The whole situation is unbearably icky. I cannot imagine how she feels right now, or how she is coping. So sad.
