Are all athletic girls really girls? It is widely known that most of athlete girls don’t all look like girls, if you know what I mean. The story you’re about to read is about that. The Indian athlete girl – Pinky Pramanik was arrested because of molesting her partner and suspicion that she actually might be a he. She,
or he – we still don’t know, was a vicechampion of Commonwealth for 400m race and a member of golden relay race (4x400m) from the Asian games in Doha 2006, and rejected the allegations for molesting and an attempt of rape, but also refused to undergo a medical sex determination test. “I went through numerous tests during my athletic career and I do not see why I would have to do this ridiculous test” – she said at the hearing.
However, the court ordered that Pramanik, who rarely competes in recent years due to numerous injuries, remains in custody until June 29th and that her sex must be determined by then. It is stated in the West Bengal state police report that Pramanic lived with her/his partner for a last few months in an extramarital relationship and that they should marry, but the partner changed her mind. Athletic Federation of India announced that they will not give any announcement until the end of the police investigation and a final medical report. Cases like this were the plots of some movies, but as far as I know a case like this never really happened. I don’t know, look at the pictures and say what do you think – does ‘she’ look like a girl to you?
