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.
Function according to DNA is a dangerous statement as far as origin of behavior is concerned. Also it is probably also a gross over simplification of what is encompassed in the really very multi-faceted meaning of gender “normalcy” to assert it is defined by an individual’s genes.
