Gender Questions and Championship Runner

More than anything else, this fussy debate, too ridiculous to bring out the big guns on either side of the culture wars, finally exposes, naked and undeniably, the flimsiness of our outmoded gender categories and the truly changing nature of femininity and masculinity.
It's now more clear than ever that there are no discreet boxes labeled girl or boy; and thanks to so many radical feminists who challenged shit on principle just so that we could be free to live as we choose, Semenya can be a mustache-wearing "golden girl" and America's Best Dance Crew can be team of vogueing queens led a diva with plumbing-unknown.
Like so many others on the web, I've inspected the photos; but there is a reason no formal discussion has emerged. Even the most conservative of traditionalists is reduced to a stutter when asked to define the criteria by which she should be classified. There is mention, at best, of mysterious "scientific tests" to be performed by doctors in some dark and secluded space.
Yet, my personal polling reveals little about what these test might actually entail. Fertility (will they look for menstrual blood or ovaries on a sonogram)? A penis (are we talking about shining a flashlight between her legs)? Or maybe we're talking about behavior (apparently, Semenya preferred the company of boys in school), or appearance (no boobies and a hint of a 'stache).
Like its anti-climactic resolution, this whole discussion must be met with shrugs and shamed faces by citizens of the modern world. I'm not up in arms or ready to take to my soap-box because, if you've got access to a TV and the internet, we are in a moment where the artifacts of our popular culture are rife with gender-bending, trends and personalities that skate the whole continuum of gender identity and sexuality. It's an incredible and progressive time for gender politics.
I mean, just turn on your television. (To all of my MTV viewers) America's Best Dance Crew is about to be a hot team of queens and a transexual DIVA (capital D) with a bigger underground following than any to take the ABDC stage. And like American Idol and other shows that monitor the pulse of the teens and tweens, the public does the selecting. And the public has chosen them. I could go on but the point is that I don't need to. For all of us involved in the dialogue of pop culture, the old lines of gender and sexuality have been unsettled and we are more ready than ever to see ourselves and our neighbor outside of the old boxes.
As a final thought and [introduction to the next string of debate], in a recent episode of the Michael Baisden Show [on syndicated radio], it was suggested that black women are increasingly choosing same-sex relationships as a coping strategy in a void of eligible and willing black male partners. Now, I realize this idea of pitiful men 'changing' women isn't new but it became a part of the conversation that day in a new way- as a serious thought and not some well-worn chide.
want to hear from everyone.
To my sisters and brothers in the life, do you support the idea of biological sexuality? Is there any room (in this world that will still ask an olympic-caliber athlete to lift up her dress and prove that a girl can really run that fast) to consider a more nuanced analysis that considers nurture as well as nature? Do people choose to be gay?
To my straight fam, [Same questions] but also: Does this make you feel more or less free to be your opposite-sex-loving selves?
