My Revelation

[GrandizerII]

A man is whatever he says he is. We don't have to believe him, but acceptance goes a long way.

Sorry. I can't accept that. I always wanted to be a great baseball player and I have played baseball. I could believe all I want, feel like a great player and identify as one. It would be no help to me to have people pretend to agree with me. By the way, what makes a great player?  Is it what I think it is or what it really is. Can I hit, field, steal, pitch, etc. I think a great player strikes out all the time, misses fly balls, is slow on the base pads, etc.  Am I correct?

Depends on the the metric for what constitutes a great baseball player.

In the case of gender, depends on what society uses as a metric for determining gender. The problem is that it's proven to be far more complex than just looking at one or two binary variables. We don't know what the characteristics exactly are of being a man, but we can all make observations that show it can't just simply be about genitals or chromosomes, and that environmental factors do play some part as well, however it does it.
