From the reactions, most of you see the world as "black & white" while ignoring all the shades of grey that exist as well.

Absent very rare genetic abnormalities, there are no shades of grey scientifically to define if someone is a man or a woman. You either were born with XX chromosomes (female) or XY chromosomes (male). Period. If we follow science, we don't get to choose what gender we are. Our human biology tells us what gender we are.

It's honestly amazing to me. I'm not that old (37), and had you told me in high school that gender identity would actually be a controversial topic in my 30s I would have laughed. What we see now written on this subject would have been satire in the not too distant past.
