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.
There is no design. Correct. However, there is a blueprint in our DNA, and we function according to that. Our blueprints are all different. Therefore, gender "normalcy" is defined by the individual's blueprint. What would be absurd is behaving in a way other than what comes naturally to you, as defined by your DNA, life experience, womb development (lots of stuff going on then), etc. It would be me feeling like a guy, but acting like a girl because some random dude thinks I should.
