  sal@mander.xyz, why is this now the appropriate community for this post? Or is this one going to get removed, too?

    Don’t need science to see that just because i have a penis i am not “anything” or “something”, i just am me.

  The author is really reaching here.

  Defines everything as male or female, then wants to argue that everyone is unique or something… this is pretty trivial stuff.

    Nobody conforms in reality to any gender ideal, bu

    Sex, not gender.

    And even then, the best kind of incorrect (technical :) ), as there is - was - exactly one person that is ideal example of homo sapiens male sex

    Where are they reaching? Please quote a line or paragraph that's "reaching" in your opinion.

    none of this disputes the fact the vast majority of human beings are male or female biologically. and there a subset that are not.

    What are you basing that on? Do you think that doctors registered the placement of the gonads, the breast size, the penis length, amount of androgens, testosterone and other hormones for the "vast majority of humans"?

      reaching by calling it ‘multidimensional’ when the entire article is two dimentional classifications. that’s how.

      placement of your gonads or breasts has nothing to do with how male or female you are. what are you talking about?

  Well, so long as we don’t go through the dimension where the spiders have taken over…
