    Sex is far more a matter of current hormonal wash than vestigial genetics.

    Chromosomes don’t even do all that much, and you’re searching for reasons (perhaps unknowingly) to maintain hierarchies which are oppressive.

    I get it, change is scary. The status quo however hurts people, and there is no reason to engage in apologetics for it.

      There are genetic and environmental factors that actually influence your development. These affect how you are born and are important.

      If you feel differently in the future, great. But these data points need to be recorded accurately. You were born as X. This is important. If you feel differently, and want to change it in the future, that’s fine. That doesn’t change the data point for when you were born.

      You’re so caught up in your issue that you don’t realize the larger issue at hand.

        No, they don’t.

          How you feel about your gender, and what your gender based on the literal chromosomes and shit in your body are two very different things.

              Feelings don’t actually do that much either, but you want them respected.
