For the millions of people who have sexual characteristics that don’t neatly fit into the typical definitions of male or female, life is a constant struggle against misconceptions, biases and cultural norms that, from the moment of birth, attempt to fit us into the box that defines our sex — and, often, how we’ll be perceived for the rest of our lives.
To explore that conflict, veteran Romanian actor Tünde Skovrán — making her directorial debut — traveled to South Africa to follow two intersex people with parallel but divergent lives: Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a beauty queen who suffers an identity crisis after finding out she’s intersex, and Dimakatso Sebidi, a male-presenting intersex activist who is in many ways Khumalo’s polar opposite.
The result, “Who I Am Not,” is an intimate, emotional portrait of intersex people living in a binary world, a reality that according to some estimates is experienced...

Nairobi, Dec 8 (Ians) Beijing 2008 Olympic women’s 800m champion Pamela Jelimo of Kenya received her bronze medal from the London 2012 Games at a special ceremony here on Wednesday, ten years after the conclusion of the Summer Games in the British capital.
The ceremony was presided by International Olympic Committee (Ioc) members Kipchoge Keino and Paul Tergat, themselves Kenyan distance running legends, reports Xinhua news agency.
Jelimo was among three athletes who have received an upgrade of their performance from the London 2012 Games after the race winner Mariya Savinova from Russia was stripped of the medal for doping.
In London, Jelimo ran 1:57.59 to initially finish fourth in the defence of the title she won in China where she ran an African record of 1:54.01, and received her bronze medal surrounded by her family at the National Museum in Nairobi.
“My children can now watch me receive the bronze medal, 10 years later.

Middle-distance runner Caster Semenya has won two Olympic gold medals and three World Championships in the women’s 800-meter competition. But no amount of endurance training could have prepared this South African Olympian for the long legal battle (a dozen years and counting) sparked by that very first 2009 World Championship victory. While other winning athletes were celebrating in Berlin, this Black woman from the Global South was undergoing “sex testing,” her right to even compete being thrown into question by a sports governing body made up almost wholly of white European men. But optics be damned. In the end, the […]

Caster Semenya, the South African runner who plans to compete in the Tokyo Olympics next year, must take medication to reduce her testosterone levels in order to compete, a court has ruled.
On Wednesday, the Lausanne, Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport, which is the highest court in international sports, upheld a controversial 2018 ruling by the International Association of Athletics Federations (Iaaf), which requires female athletes to take hormonal contraception to maintain testosterone levels within organization guidelines in order to be able to compete among female athletes at official events.
