One of the silver linings in this jacked up Caster Semenya situation is that it's fostering a serious discussion around the planet about the parameters of femininity.
Trans and intersex people can already tell you that gender is not an either/or immutable proposition. Just as there is a continuum of sexuality, there is one for gender as well.
Anyone who remembers their reality based science classes knows that you get half your genetic material from mommy and half your genetic material from daddy.
