In response to the latest speculations surrounding Castor Semanya's sex, she's apparently had a new makeover.  Notice the subheading: "We turn SA's power girl into a glamour girl -- and she loves it!"  

The problems are numerous: 

1. A Western magazine is "making-over" or changing the physical appearance of a South African woman.  Colonialism much?

2. An black woman is changed to meet Western Anglo beauty ideals, and then she's quoted as loving it as if to say, "See? She's so happy we fixed her."

3. The positive change is from "power" to "glamour," or from capable to object.

Sigh.  I hate to see a woman forced into gender performance.  That's not to imply that Semanya would never wear dresses or be traditionally feminine of her own will, but that this spectacle of performance is clearly reactionary, a display to defy earlier accusations.
