GRITtv: What Makes a Woman? The Bullying Of Caster Semenya
On Aug. 19 Caster Semenya burst onto the world scene with her record-breaking, 800-meter run. But for Semenya, known as The Pride of South Africa, it was a race that was quickly contested when the International Association of Athletics Federations ordered tests be done to verify her gender, thus sparking a cacophony of accusations, speculation and misinformation. On today's panel we ask, "what makes a woman?" We're joined by Janet Green, boardmember at the Accord Alliance, Katie Baratz, a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania, Staceyann Chin, poet, activist and author, and author Sherry Wolf.
