That's true. But also, for 99.9% of physics problems people use day to day, Newton's model works great.
If people need the "relativistic model" of gender to understand their own situation, i.e. if they're intersex, thats great and im glad thats available. But theres no need for people to account for relativity if they're just trying to determine how fast a pendulum is swinging or something, and if someone meets the generally accepted definition of male or female biological sex (which 99.9% of people do), i dont think there's much need to complicate things.
I actually think youre correct and that we oughta rely on such complex models only whhen the person in question is a person with a very complex gender identity since easily 90% or 80% of hukans obviously fall under the easily understandable binary model .
Physics and biology are two very differenr fields.
Physics equation dont care about the livelihood of the object theyre involved in
...The equations of biology do worry about suchbthings . In biology you deal with animate , beings and even with species that are comprised of numerous ither species. Like the human gut's immune system is comprised mostly of non-human cells interestingly
....Though I do wonder if future research will actually prove to us that the mosaic models of gender have to start being applied to EVERYONE because it turns out that most people fit into all types of genders, and forms of gender expression....
When humanity decides that it is time for us to prioritize other things than bombing and ostracizing Iranians , and dubai chocolates and getting a newer , more gas -guzzling car every year maybe we'll finally be able to find out...
