There is a perception that Columbus proved the world was spherical, but the ancient Greeks measured the size of the Earth.  I honestly get the impression that all of this is theater.  Like the idiot character in a series.  The actor is not so dumb.  It's just an act. 


  

Thanks for sharing this link.

The analysis is much more rigorous than I expected, and I agree with most (but not all) of the initial presentation.

However, one glaring omission the speaker makes is a condition called ANDROGEN INSENSITIVITY.

ANDROGEN INSENSITIVITY is when a person has XY chromosomes (apparently the "gold standard" for "sexgender" which happens to be quite a strange "bald assertion" ontologically, specifically because chromosomes weren't even discovered until the mid 1880s, WTF).

ANDROGEN INSENSITIVITY is when a person has XY chromosomes (this speaker might call them "male") and yet, even though they have XY chromosomes, their cells are ANDROGEN INSENSITIVE and therefore are unaffected by that specific hormone and are therefore fully female in physical appearance, bone structure, girly parts and everything else.

Now, you might say "this is extremely rare and therefore can be dismissed out of hand as a statistical fluke".

However, because we do not TEST FOR THIS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW "RARE" IT MIGHT BE.

It is important to maintain a constant awareness of and vigilant respect of our epistemological limits.

There are also cases where a person has what might at first glance appear to be an XY, but the **Y itself** can have a 4th stub (leg) of various lengths, the shorter the stub, the more "male" they appear, and the longer the stub, the more "female" they appear.

THE KEY TAKEAWAY FROM ALL OF THIS IS THAT IT IS A VIOLATION OF PRIVACY TO DEMAND THAT ANYONE "PROVE" THEIR GENDER.

IT IS A MATTER OF **FUNDAMENTAL** PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY.

The classical Problem of Identity is and has been and always will be a PRIVATE PERSONAL JOURNEY.

SOCIAL NORMS ARE FLUID.

THERE IS NO REASON TO CODIFY SOCIAL NORMS.

### WHAT WE SHOULD CODIFY IS PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
