No, this isnt about how I'm not getting any...

Where does one's gender reside? Is it mental? Is it about what you're packing in your denims, or whats in your genes? If someone has XY but is testosterone-resistant, and therefore physically female, which are they? What if they identify as male, what then? If they identify female? What if they just don't care or dont know, and just go with what theyve got to work with? What about transgender people? Pre-op? Post-op? What about really, really butch lesbians, or really really effeminate gays? What about closet transgenders?

What do these people mark on forms? What scholarships should they get? What bathrooms do they use?

Why do we even diffrentiate so much based on gender, when it's got just as much gray area as any other distinction?
