Two viewpoints

If you watch that livestream I posted with neurologist Robert Sapolsky you will note how anywhere on the chain of events there can be anomalies. At the level of chromosomes, endocrine system, genitalia and brain chemistry any can be influenced to disrupt what we previously thought at a distance was an obvious two way formula of sex.

Transgender and intersex people are created simply because it is possible to disrupt the process even slightly creating ambiguity and mismatch a certain percentage of is expected in anything inherently biological.

This reality plays against two viewpoints. One is to embrace difference as part of the mosaic of humanity while the other assumes that breaking from the binary is either concious choice or mental illness which is the position of criticals and conservatives. The latter is fear based and not steeped in critical thinking for if it were a logical position to take it would imply that all previous stances by conservatives were correct. In which case we should bring back slavery and prevent women from voting.

We seek enlightenment and we progress which is why you will be hard pressed to find conservative intellectuals. Our baseline position should be to grow and learn instead of maintaining an ignorant status quo.
