Questions about genders ... male/female

[Violet]

You're forgetting transgenders, my friend. The issue isn't as clear cut as it seems.

Yeah, way to pull someone in with a title that sounded promising, right? And then, no... it's about biological sexes. It could have been about societal categorization of people and the duties assumed of each, it could have been about the psychological interpretation of the self and it's application to their vessel... heck, it could even have been about the pointless technique that is giving words gender, and I mean: I could rant on that topic all month long.

But no. It's about chromosomal pairs, and the fact that the two sex thing has found significant success in achieving genetic diversity. Not sure what it has to do with atheism (actually, I do know: nothing), but... it's an irrelevant post on an irrelevant topic that could have been so much more.

* Violet goes ahead and just puts on the rose-coloured glasses, and continues fantasizing about what could have been.

Thanks for that insight. What about the "transgender community" ... does it require a new gender? Or will male/female just have to work for them as is? I'm just thinking out loud here.

Nah, not taking the bait... between the misunderstanding of sex chromosomal pairings (there are many more than XY and XX, but few of them are fertile, and the very existance of the Intersex population should make this clear), and the misunderstandings of gender (there are many more than 'two gender's, and the very existence of the Genderqueer population should make this clear)... I'd be here all week just getting off the ground, when nothing interesting has yet been said.
