It seems to me that the same people who take the stance that the Bible has a plain meaning in all cases also seem to assume that human sexuality is a pretty simple manner.

    * There are men and there are women.
    * Men are attracted to women and women are attracted to men.
    * Any variance from that is an abnormality.

My immediate reaction, I must admit, upon seeing Caster Semenya was that she does indeed present as relatively "masculine." But then I had to check myself. How one presents and what one's genetics say about one's gender do not necessary match up.
