(3,818 posts)zoology, physiological, etc. We are told that we are to rationally, scientifically look at the world and when people do, they are screamed at for being hateful and bigoted.
We live in a Duality on many many levels and for 90% +/- of those who identify with their gonads*, male = sperm, female = ovaries/egg, and the reproduction implications that result from that. That is the way it is for flowers, trees, lions, and so on and so forth. We can't both be expected to look at the larger world in some aspects and then narrow it in others, which is some ways is completely rejecting the Nature we live in. See the confusion?
The implications are, if the broader world accepts and redefines gender, narrowing it into fluidity, then we cannot do on other levels. Everything is then open to interpretation. Micro, macro.
Who is it that gets to choose these things anyway?
