[Serious] Please convince me gender is binary

[bennyboy]

adam's apple..adam's apple... lol.  The notion is that it got stuck in his craw, lol.  Let that sink in.  

But lets run with that.  Gender identity is about characteristics as we conceptualize them in the gender construct, not traits as they exist in your pants.  Did you choose to be "masculine" or "effeminate" to whatever degree you are either..or is it simply who you are?

Gender and gender identity are not the same thing.  You mention "masculine" or "effeminate," but not any third or poly option.  That's because there really are only two gender categories-- it's a binary dialectic, and it's not arbitrary-- it is, ultimately, strongly linked to what the vast majority of people have in their pants, and how they feel and think about things as male or female members of the human species.
