Barbra Banda

[Jezzz]

Does anyone have any information about the actual sex of this person?

All male.

So obviously male in that photo.

Incidentally, the hateful language, according to Reddit, was "she shouldn't even be on the pitch".
Suzy Wrack is fantastic journalist but like so many, has just lost her mind over the issue of male people in women's sport.

Isn’t it funny how every athlete who is accused of looking like a man turns out to be…a man.

The racism is in the belief that it’s not possible or harder to tell black African males and females apart and we shouldn’t “assume”. It’s perfectly possible to tell that Semenya, Banda, Mboma etc are men because they look like men. It’s a sexist and racist insult to African women that these men look like them.

I find it amusing at the photograph deliberately used in the article, because of the flag in background.

He is up for ballon d'or 2026. Also, another- Dumournay body fat looks to low to be female.

Sigh.

I have sympathy for everyone with a DSD, but that doesn't extend to tolerating men with DSDs playing in women's sport. It's rough that this means some talented athletes can't pursue career in professional sport, but life frequently isn't fair or kind and the unfairness to women (not to mention potential safety issues) is much greater if men with DSDs are allowed to take opportunities, achievements and recognition that should go to women.

There are jobs I'm ineligible for because of my myopia and I have to accept that. Suck it up Banda, play as a man if you're good enough, if you're not then do your coaching badges or just earn a living in another field.
