This is quite confusingly written. Is the ruling just about discrimination, or has it actually overturned the testosterone judgment?

Has Semenya ever confirmed he is the biological father of his children? I haven't seen that. He 100% has confirmed that he has testicles, though apparently they don't make him any less of a woman

I don't recall him confirming this but he has sort of, might have, almost implied it in a couple of interviews. And sorry but I don't have any links so no proof.

this is a brilliant interview, the expert (a developmental biology researcher from the University of Manchester) is so clear, dispassionate, apolitical, balanced and informative. Recommended listening for anyone who is unclear about Caster Semanye's sex or the impact of biological sex in sport.
It actually starts at 24 minutes into the recording.
