RE: Biological underpinnings of Human sexuality(part 2 - bypassing the evolutionary filters)
"super rare condition" all of gender and sex is a spectrum, it's not true just for specific people but for everyone
if you were born with a dick you are a guy, if you were born with a pussy you are a gal in 99,9 % of the cases, the rest fall on the spectrum of disorders or other ambiguous cases.
What you feel you are, what you like to have sex with or what you wished you were don't matter. Simple as that.
P.S.: Thanks for the flag. Strongly shows that you rely more on your feelings rather than real arguments and logic. Some would say that this is a female trait but I find this highly sexist and totally disagree.
When we are speaking about biological sex, almost everyone can be categorized as male or female. However, a few people are happen to be born with ambiguous sexual organs, a condition known as intersex. If we add secondary sex characteristics to the story, such as angular face and broad shoulders for men or rounded face and wide hips for women, we see that people do extend along a line from extreme manly male to extreme womanly female.
This doesn't mean that we have sex continuum resembling rainbow, with bands of equal width. Rather than that, biological sex can be represented in the form of bimodal distribution:
This means that most men have average male body features, but a few extend out into the extreme manly range, while others have somewhat female characteristics. Likewise, most women have average female body features, with some extreme womanly types and others with somewhat manly characteristics.
Now, let's add gender identity and gender expression to the whole story.
Almost everyone with the biological identity of male of female identifies as male or female, in the 99.7% of the cases. You could argue that is a little tighter than it would be if society was more accepting of gender variation, but even if it went down to 99% which would be almost an order of magnitude increase, you would still have an overwhelming number of people whose gender identity matches their biological sex. The same goes for the gender expression - almost everyone who is biologically male or female, who identifies as biologically male or female, expresses themselves as male or female, and then the vast majority of them have sexual orientation that's in agreement with their biological sex, gender identity and gender expression.
Based on these purely scientific facts and stats, there is no such perspective, which is based on scientific rationale and common sense, that would consider those as independent variables.
Gender identity, gender expression and biological sex do not vary independently.
Having that said, social constructivism view must be rejected as viable hypothesis.
Since @trumpman was tagged as someone with the "3rd grade understanding of biology", me, as a PhD holder in biology, support his claims 100% and confirm that they're based solely on biological/scientific facts.
PhDs are a social construct, checkmate.
Damn! Busted :(
Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored.
