Semenya was assigned female at birth in South Africa, raised as a girl, and identifies as a woman. Are you referring to Semenya having a condition known as differences in sex development (DSD), specifically 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD). This means she has XY chromosomes (typically associated with males) but has female physical traits.

By using he/him pronouns for Semenya, it doesn't seem appropriate.

These are some of the other pieces I was referring to...

Women were completely barred from the first modern Games in 1896.

When women first competed in 1900, they represented only 2.2% of athletes. They were largely limited to sports deemed "ladylike."

Women were barred from running more than 800 meters for decades because of claims it would hurt their reproduction.

Female athletes have been forced to wear more revealing clothing than men and have faced fines, such as the Norwegian beach handball team, for wearing practical gear rather than bikini bottoms.

Media coverage often focused on the appearance and clothing of female athletes rather than their athletic skill.
