I don't believe it's the same as Caster Semenya, however I'm sure no two cases in this area are ever the same.
Jeska had not made anyone aware she had been born a man, and then competed as a women. When she was going to compete internationally all of this was going to come out, and she was going to be stripped of her previous titles.
Caster Semenya, was not, as I understand, formally born a man.
The debate is around those who sit at the edge or across the gender divide. Sport is not well equipped to deal with these sensetive subjects so it's not going to go away.
