That's basically what they are going to establish through the testing.

Biologically speaking, a person’s sex is determined by their hardware (penis / vagina); however, in rare circumstances women can have the appropriate "hardware," but the WRONG hormones in her body.

They check all blood-work levels, and essentially gauge if she is "more woman, then man"... some women just have naturally high testosterone .

There are endocrine disorders such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (for more medical detail, check here), that can result in ambiguous genitalia in girls (that can be born looking like boys owing to excess testosterone ).

"More Than A Woman"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZCtgFmQvjQ

Oh, girl Ive known you very well
Ive seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away.

Suddenly youre in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you.

Here in your arms I found my paradise
My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die.

Oh say youll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time.

More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, oh, oh, oh.

There are stories old and true
Of people so in love like you and me
And I can see myself
Let history repeat itself.

Reflecting how I feel for you
Thinking about those people then
I know that in a thousand years
Id fall in love with you again.

This is the only way that we should fly
This is the only way to go
And if I lose your love I know I would die.

Oh say youll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time.

More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, oh, oh, oh.

I watched the race, and to be honest it wasn't such an ungodly bad win that they should be worried about this girl..

true she looks like a man, i agree... but her time nor the run was something ungodly to raise alarm.. she didn't even start to win until she started to kick it out on the turn after the 600m mark.. the other runners (of talent) were stuck behind people so couldn't start to kick until after the curve..

she didn't run in record time, or really that close.. she got lucky that the two runners in her skill level got grid-locked on a curve and she was not....

she looks manly, but isn't running fast enough to make this such a big issue..

Bro, I am really impressed with this post.

Are you pre-med, or a doctor all together.



On a funnier note, ask DSM if he will "check out her hardware"!!!

I'm just bustin on DSM! He's a great member!!!

Just a gay one!LOL
