[Serious] Please convince me gender is binary

[Brian37]

There has been a lot of discussion on it lately, and there's a lot of informed and actual people that struggle with gender. Perhaps I need an education in gender identity, But I only see gender as binary. I'm open to be convinced otherwise. Let me start with a statement, which I'm sure people will jump all over.

I define gender normalcy as that which functions according to its design. Our design is in our DNA as male or female.  Gender identity uses the same words and is thus binary. Is this a true statement? Elucidate me.

PS- I don't think I did the serious tag right, I need an education on that too please

Repeat after me

There is no design.    There is no design


It functions however it functions.   The complete consequences of how it functions is hard to predict by even thoughtful intelligent people, much less with their heads still up the their own asses with Jesus.

Snowflakes as individual snowflakes follow a pattern yes, but each individual snowflake is unique like a fingerprint, but yet I am sure our theist friend here doesn't chalk snowflakes up to Frosty The Snowman. And not only that snowflakes are still related to other weather like sleet and rain because all are made of water. 

I agree, there is no "design" in either life or natural objects that are not life.

Humans merely project intent, when science isn't claiming intent, but is merely a language that describes our observations.

The problem with the argument from "design" are things like deadly bacteria, cockroaches,  cancer, Hitler, volcanos, the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs.

The theist simply gets suck on the pretty and ignores all the nasty shit that while undesirable, are just as natural as the things we find pretty.
