I think that "normal" is determined greatly by on'es culture/society. In "With Pleasure: Thoughts on the Nature of Human Sexuality," Paul R. Abramson and Steven D. Pinkerton write:
In contemporary Western culture, there are two [gender] choices: male and female. At one level, this two-category gender system makes perfect sense, corresponding as it does to normative assumptions about both genetic differences (XX vs. XY chromosomes) and genital differences (vagina vs. penis). Nevertheless, this sensible, and seemingly obvious, two-gender system is far from universally endorsed.

In both the Dominican Republic and Papua New Guinea, the cultural formation of gender includes a third category, a generic “other,” in addition to the biologically obvious categories of male and female. ... In cultures where the prevalence of pseudohermaphroditism is high, the three-gender system makes perfect sense. In other cultures, such as our own, genital ambiguities are either ignored, or resolved by assigning children with ambiguous genitals to either the male or female category (often with accompanying surgery). Such a choice is mandated by cultural assumptions that conceptualize gender as a strict dichotomy.

In India, hijras — males who have their penises and testicles surgically removed — constitute a third distinct gender category. ... Other examples... include the Native American bedarche... [men] who have been transformed into women by virtue of their dress and behavior; that is, they are culturally constituted females (although in some cases the transformation is from female to male). In Tahiti, members of the third gender are called mah’u, and in Omani they are called xanith. The Burmese equivalent, the acault, are considered to be neither male nor female (despite biological maleness), with the social consequence that a man can have sex with an acault without violating the cultural prohibition on homosexual behavior.
