I don't know that I'm mad at the coach. If he was aware of the request for the test and just wanted to spare her the humiliation by lying about what it was for I could support that. I don't understand how it spiraled into a worldwide media shitstorm?

I can't imagine how she feels right now. To be really, really amazing at something you love, and to have your accomplishments marginalized and brought under scrutiny because what you are doesn't match the norm? Like you said, I hope she keeps running because she's so young and has a fantastic career in front of her, but I wouldn't blame her at all if she quit :(

Though this one really irks me:

You can't see it without a subscription, but note she was given a make over. Wonder who came up with that idea...

Way to kick ass Semenya!

Poor Semenya. I hope she keeps running, but I wouldn't blame her for quitting if people are lying to her and making claims about her body so egregiously.

In general, I'm not a fan of lying. I work in public relations, and occasionally feel pressure to tell half-truths and gloss over issues with reporters. I try to be as blunt as I can, and just refer it up the chain of command if it's going to put me in a compromising position.
In other news, a few months ago I caught my dad out in a bold-faced lie to me for the first time in my life. This was pretty upsetting, as I've always admired him for his forthrightness. He has also told my mom some half-truths about their finances, and it's causing a lot of strain in their marriage. This is basically why I'm in therapy right now.

It's easier if my bf doesn't know exactly how much they drive me crazy when they start a fight over whether the pregnant girlfriend should eat bread pudding for dessert because the sauce contains bourbon. He doesn't need to know what I'm thinking then.

I'm generally very honest in relationships. I look suspicious though because I lie to my mom about everything. It's just easier for me. Of course because I lie to her, sometimes I think my exes were lying to me about various things. I'm insecure but then again, who isn't? And it never helps when my paranoia ends up justifying itself with the outcome. Sigh. Right now, I just want it to be the truth when I say that I'm happy with how things are between me and my now ex.

Really? I was under the impression that any number between 15 and 21 was generally acceptable.... is there some particular number we should all be claiming?
