Somizi has taken to social media to share that he is not happy that Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court has dismissed Caster Semenya's appeal against last year's Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling.
The CAS had ruled that the Olympic champion would have to take testosterone-reducing drugs in order to compete in races between 400m and a mile.
The reality TV star shared a collage of Caster and Jarmila Kratochvílová, who ran 800 metres in 1:53.28 seconds in 1983. He captioned his post:
"White privilege."
Somizi and his fans have asked whether Kratochvílová was ever subjected to all the tests that Caster has had to go through. Check out some of the comments from shook social media users below:

"You can say that again, I think we need human rights lawyers to step up here. Trans people can race with women but a person born a woman is called too much of a woman to race with women."

"This is so unfair."

"This is sad."

"And she looks more like a man."

"@somizi you can say it again, white privilege period."
The New York Times reports that the latest ruling appears to have nixed any chance for Caster, who has natural testosterone levels far above the standard female range, to defend her title in her signature event at the Tokyo Olympics next summer.

"Ay khona sesikathele loya (no, we're tired), 27 tracks was enough for the rest of the year, namanje asikayiqedi (we haven't finished listening to it)."
