August 2009 — Trans and Intersex Rights Groups Respond to Public Debate About Caster Semenya, South Africa

In August 2009, Intersex South Africa (ISSA)’s Sally Gross, U.S. academic Amanda Lock Swarr, and ديناميكس الجنسانية (GDX)’s Liesl Theron co-authored a critical think piece that was published in the Fall edition of the Feminist Studies Journal. The piece, “South African Intersex Activism: Caster Semenya’s Impact and Import”, looks at the public responses from ISSA and GDX to the public debate that erupted around Caster Semenya and the gender verification tests she was forced to undergo by the IAAF.
