i love watching the olympics. i know nothing about these sports but by hour 4 i’m like, “poor dismount. look at those knees. not enough elevation or rotation on that last move. clear 3/10 points deduction. tsk.”
You guys don’t understand how happy this makes me, you hear nothing about intersex people or anything we do or even our deaths at the hands of the medical field.
Nobody ever talks about us and now in the 2016 Olympics stands an intersex person ready to win gold and I couldn’t be happier to see it. People are going to talk about us soon and I hope it’s in good spirits. I hope Caster takes gold for South Africa.
