So close.
To what?

We've all ultimately evolved from one race in Africa and we just draw our lines. Cultural lines are less arbitrary than race but they're still arbitrary.
And we say that because one person has girl bits and the other person has boy bits that they're male and female. But if someone born with male genitals had female chromosomes and female brain structure then it would once again show that we're just making our own definitions out of things. Ultimately there are no clear cut lines, it's all a continuum like the rest of evolution. Sexual reproduction between two types (male and female) is just the evolutionary path that nature has happened to take.... clear distinctions between one and the other is not necessary all that is necessary is some way to reproduce.
No one is born with female chromosomes and male genitalia. That's impossible.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
