  2. In this context I remember another earlier disconcerting piece by AG of IHT on Shanthi the intersex athlete.

  4. Hi,
    Thanks for the link, Abi.
    Pipa, I looked for the piece you mention but couldn't locate it.
    Anyway, am really pleased to have my response note on the net and linked widely! Love this form of publishing and the connections it fosters.

  5. Thanks..would've missed the rebuttal by Shilpa to the IHT article if not for your post..
    And its not just "seriously lazy reporting". It's seriously flawed and terrible reporting by Giridhardas. Great response by Shilpa.
