Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
...do they though? Is there a quote from them saying this or is the author just making shit up in a really patronizing way?
It sounds like a significant part of the population everywhere has trouble with that
A lot of remote countries were invaded by Christian missionaries who promoted a very strict view of gender
yeah, like the UK and the US
Eh even if that's true then its not that deep for some person from a remote place try and participate in bifurcated sports. But don't expect compliance to bizarre eugenicist shit.
People can just read about things with an open mind. Definitely patronizing.
Caster Semenya is from a large town in South Africa, Polokwane, the capital of its province. Population 130k
Definitely not "remote" by any stretch of the definition. Straight up racism by the author
They don't cause a broad chunk whoever buys what's written will take it for granted. Oh a person from third world, probably doesn't know how to read. It confirms what they believe so they publish it and some people will read it as "Yeah that makes sense"
the global south brainpan is INCAPABLE of comprehending GENDER
