That has not changed and nothing the International Association of Athletics Federations tests find under their microscope will ever take that away from you.
Whatever happens in these next few weeks, whatever the truth behind all the rumours, media leaks and gossip, I promise you will discover the truth that most human beings are kind-hearted and that the human heart is by far the most important human organ; it has no gender and it's not interested in your sex.
When I was 25 I found out suddenly that I am an intersex XY woman.
