Then again, apparently evidence of a biological basis actually causes bigots to be more bigoted, not less, so maybe I shouldn't have bothered with the above: https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/20...sis-for-gender

There is also evidence for structural differences in the brains of transgendered people causing them to more closely resemble the sex they identify with than the one they were born as, as well as evidence that in vitro androgen exposure levels play a role.

The truth is there are no absolute divisions. There are distributions with varying degrees of overlap and rather than simply throw binary divisions out the window people would rather fight over where the line is. maybe that is important, i don't know and don't care.

We almost always gender people based on secondary sex characteristics and behavior so it baffles me why outside of romantic interest the average stranger would care what's in another's pants. It's not liek we all walk around in crotchless zentai.
