HOW GOOD CAN A WOMAN BE UNTIL "SHE'S TOO GOOD TO BE A WOMAN?"
 
I am Mokgadi Caster Semenya. 
I am a woman and I am fast.
I worked, I trained, I dedicated my whole life to running.
That's what makes me good. 
But apparently, too good for some. 
So good that I’m denied the right to run my race, unless I take medication to change the body I was born with.
So good that I'm left with no choice but to compete in a distance 6 times longer. 
So good that my genitalia and DNA are scrutinized.
So good that I'm told to take medication to change the body I was born with.
Why must womanhood fit within such narrow standards? 
Being "too good" doesn't make a woman any less of a woman.
It only challenges limitations of how good a woman can be.
