We had to figure out the rest, which is up to us or in us. We have to create it for ourselves. Not all brains are created the same and there's a good chance gender is brain defined and has a biological cause. Most of us are so ass deep into social conditioning we can't even see the story for our part in it, we've become the role, anything outside of that role is a threat, a threat to an arbitrary and socially adopted role we've bought into and will defend with our life or at the cost of someone else's. It's sad that Jenner is even news worthy, it's his personal choice and the fact it causes such knee jerk hostility and snarky social critique, well that's the way every misunderstood minority in American history has been treated. The whole TG thing is enormously common in vertebrates, lets face it you're all girls till you get that in utero testosterone wash. Reptiles swap sexes, in fish it's incredibly common. In non Western cultures that don't run an ideological fence down the middle of the psyche and polarize everything into dualistic categories of male or female, these kind of cultural variations are really common place. I think it's in Thailand, that a national champion kick boxer is TG, over there, not a big deal, but here OMG! Someone will probably say something stupid in reply to this and if I don't respond that's ok. Everyone's entitled to their own box just like I am mine, but it's just a box to keep the world in, not the truth necessarily. But at least here, we can all agree to disagree.
