Write 6 pages thesis on the topic gender verification performed on a jane doe. The sex-testing program was initiated due to the belief on the superiority of males in sports: female athletes would be at a disadvantaged position over their male counterparts in men’s events, and male athletes taking part in women’s competitions would have an undeniable advantage. hence, female athletes must be safeguarded against male athletes participating in their competitions. Hence, all athletes participating in women’s competitions should be subjected to various tests to identify and make sure of the athlete’s sex.

She says she has not dated any man and did not experience having any boyfriend. She is muscular but noticeably thin. She has short hair. She has very small breasts and no underarm and facial hair. She has a flat abdomen but large muscle formation around the thighs and legs, which is expected of a track and field athlete.

She ran the 100 meters in 13 seconds in Madison Square Garden. won a gold medal for Sydney in the Olympics in the 50-yard dash with a first-time record of 12 seconds. and completed 100 yards in 9 seconds.
