[Serious] Please convince me gender is binary

[bennyboy]

great, I shall promptly tell my transgender eldest to cop on, go back to being a dumb chick and get his tits out for the lads.

Fess up. You are not "fine" with any of it. Why else would I have to volunteer my spare time on a support line? Were you correct, there would be no need for any such thing, we could all say to the victims that they are imagining all of it and that would be the end of it. But no, you want to corral people into whatever gender YOU decide.

I literally never said any of the things that you just said.

Gender identity, as in the personality one feels, or chooses to express, is variable, and should be, and should be embraced. However, demanding that others treat as a physical fact that which is an expression of feeling is an abuse of language.

To try and say things like "there's no scientific basis for binary gender" is horse shit. The species is defined partly by its reproductive system, including the obvious fact that the species is normally divided into male and female. Let's count together, shall we? Male = 1; Female = 2. That's binary.

We are also a species with 10 fingers and 10 toes. That some people don't have 10 of them, or in extreme cases don't have fingers at all, doesn't mean that we have a "finger rainbow" as a species.
