Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be asked to prove that you are a man or a woman, by taking a gender test? You may think “well I got to do is remove my cloths and that’s prof enough”. No, it is proven that some women are actually men and some men are actually women. The reason that you may look like a woman and actually be a man is, you may have all the woman parts, but that your testosterone level is to low, so you did not get the male genitals.
But someone woman just have more testosterone than they are supposed, to which causes them to become more muscular than usual. The high testosterone can also cause a woman to grow a male genital.
In 2009 an 18 year old named Caster Semenya an Olympic gold medalist in 800, raised suspicion because of her deep voice and muscular profile. Caster was told that she had to take the gender test and if she was found be to be a man then her medal would have been taken from her.
Can you imagine someone coming up to you and saying that you have to go take a test, and prove that you are female and not male? And then take the test, and find out after all the years that you believed that you were either a male or a female find that you are just the opposite. It would devastate you for life.
An 800 runner named Santhi Soundarajan was tested after the 2006 Asian games, the test failed. The failure of her test, lead to the Asian games officials taking her silver medal. She was found to have the disease were externally you are female but internally you are male.
