Understanding transgenderism.
#17
RE: Understanding transgenderism.
the gender in many traditional societies seem to be hardware plus software that are expected to be loaded to suit the hardware.   firmware is expected to conform and keep quiet.  firmware that fail to do so is considered buggy.   loading the wrong software would e considered a serious user error.

Transgenderism is:
1) Hardware: a reflection of biological and physiological traits;
2) Software: A reflection of mental behaviors that possess some flexibility under conscious control;
3) Firmware: A reflection of software that operates at a lower level and is largely impervious to conscious influence.

I don't think gender is a well enough defined concept to say much.




I think components that may constitute gender are conceptually not ill defined.   what is meaningfully ill defined is the exact collection of components should be included in such definition of gender as appropriate to form basis of law.
