My heart goes out to Caster Semenya, few can imagine what it feels like to have your whole world turned upside-down – as hers has been.

I really do feel for what Caster's going though – the shock, fear, doubt, sudden sense of being very alone in the world. And the terrible dawning question – who am I? Will people still accept me?

Will anyone be able to love me, if I'm not a normal woman?

I found out the truth that I'm intersexed in a very sudden, shocking way.
