To be, or not to be...a woman?

Caster Semenya has gone from some person who runs to a top favorite after taking the gold medal in the 800 meter at the world championships. However, speculation on Caster's gender has triggered some intense investigation as to whether or not she is a she!
I thought that was a pretty simple thing to decide when a child is born, aside from the 0.5 percent of children born with that particular 'difference.' Apparently I was wrong because the results of Semenya's gender test are going to take weeks to decipher, pending reports from a medical physical evaluation, tests from gynecologists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and internal medicine specialists.
Really? That's crazy.
