I don't care the reason, I care the actor. And the actor is people. It's a man-made system. What do you mean by "nature doesn't care?" Because that doesn't seem true to me. Sex confers certain biological characteristics, so what is that if it's not nature "caring?" If it really didn't matter, there'd be no need for things like HRT. I understand the chromosome complaint because it frustrates me every time I see it, too. It's a lot more complicated than that and people are trying to oversimplify the science to fuel their agenda. But, here's the thing, these sex chromosome disorders like XXY, X0, or XYY, also have unique biological consequences. They are not an argument against biological sex being real, they are an argument against the binary. The reason we continue to use the binary is because as far as we can tell, these disorders affect 5% or less of the population, and that's being extremely generous. So it's way more useful to specifically classify things when they occur. --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:882371748] in First baby...
