As a Blackadder fan, I'm struggling with this because of Nursie.

Out you popped, out of your mummies tumpkin and everyone shouted : “It’s a boy, it’s a boy!”. And somebody said “but it hasn’t got a winkle!”. And then I said “A boy without a winkle? God be praised, it is a miracle. A boy without a winkle!” And then Sir Thomas More pointed out that a boy without a winkle is a girl. And everyone was really disappointed.

Biblically accurate sex

I'm part way through the article, and its a fascinating read, and very well explained

I think its interesting how people tie themselves into knots with the whole binary male/female with convoluted descriptions of large small gametes defining gender (I'm particularly thinking of jk rowlings tweet and all the terf stuff)

I can see how binary definitions can never adequately reflect the complexity of an individuals internal experience. And also the designation of male/female is a social construct than biological reality

I am a late in life diagnosed autistic woman, my experience of reality will always differ from someone who doesn't have sensory issues because of my autism. I've had my mother, teachers and friends deny my experiences of reality because it doesn't match theirs. It seems barbaric to apply outdated social constructs to something as varied and complex as a human being

I think I may be waffling, but TLDR thanks for the link, its helping me understand things more clearly

Edit, just finished reading it now, and I love how it suggests using the description of a "mosaic" definition of gender as opposed to binary or spectrum

Really good article

That was a good read
