The Olympic Sex Determination Lab 4

Posted by samzenpus on Monday July 28, 2008 @01:46PM

Beijing has set up a sex determination lab to test female athletes suspected of being male. The lab will evaluate cases based on their external appearance, blood samples, sex hormones, genes and chromosomes. I was surprised to read that the standing urination test and the potpourri appreciation chart were not listed among the gender verification methods.

Sex and gender are not the same thing, so should not be used interchangeably. I have not seen a single article on this topic that uses the two words correctly.
