All this over-thinking the issue is just going to drive some folks (like me) completely bonkers.
To be honest, I am suicidal because, at least for me, the words "sex", and "gender" have become so politically mangled these days, that now I am just out of my mind, "screw it I'll just offend BOTH sides".

I dunno maybe people hit a breaking point or something, maybe there is a critical lack of help in the world. But now I'm just angry at everything and alone, and i have no idea what or who the ***k I am anymore.

Thanks folks, let's just over debate and over think this some MORE how about???
People are not messed up in the head enough yet.

I'm 5' 2" and get misgendered as a women all the time. I think the easiest way to fix that would be to grow a foot taller, but at my age I don't think that is going to happen.

I'm just saying there ARE obvious external differences if you do not factor in clothing.

Yes, there may be statistical border area nuances, but for the most part. C'mon,to use proper technical terms, penis, vagina, who can't tell the difference?

Ok, people dress in all sorts of ways and mask those biological features, but even current medical technology can't give trans the parts they desire. If it was just a "social construct", trans would not even have to spend all that money on surgery. A different outfit alone does not make one another sex, gender, or whatever words current language is using.

This really is going waaaaay into splitting hairs here.

And both of the words "sex' and "gender" have become so conflated, they have little meaning any more.
I used to identify as tran, but now I'm just bat S* crazy. this is what happens, people are not getting help, there is no "lgbt community"... it's a myth.

Intersex is around 2% Which is in the same order of magnitude as autism.

Hardly in the same statistical incidence of a rare disease, which is like 10000 people in a population of 350 million.

The "LGBTQ" community is a political construct of similarly oppressed groups. Community is likely to exist only within the sub-groups, though there may be rare exceptions.

People are going to call each other what they want and judge what they see externally, It does not matter what i want to cal myself, nobody really cares, they are too caught up in their world , with their own definitions of things like "sex', "gender" man", "woman", who cares what statistics or science says,it's a sucky word and people are nasty to each other, it's just reality. Can't change it, life sucks.

Nobody cares about autistics or autism, because it is just a statistical insignificance. Who cares about any other 2% group.

Why even care about anything?

Good for those people in the handful expensive metro areas who are fortunate to have a neighborhood they can go out and "be themselves" (whatever that means, the rest of the world, you'd better "be normal" or harassment will ensue. Most places are still quite ignorant and I don't think they want to change any time soon.

Biological sex is a biological construct. Relationships are neurological.
