So when everyone is born from now on we will be Tatooed with a binary code signifying male-female.
0=Female, 1=male and 01=other
0=Female, 1=male and 01=other

The genotype is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. As far as I knew, the only combination that defines sexual characteristics were XX and XY. Then, this article introduces a third subset which it refers to as "intersex" and introduces the concept of XXY or XYY, plus it adds measurable, known disruptions in the way sexual hormones act through the period of sexual maturation. Okay..., sounds objective. I am not knee-jerk throwing the BS flag, but the one piece of information the article did not include... is there an actual statistical correlation that may not be universal, but is beyond denial. If you want me to walk away from something I have know to be "true." It takes more than "because we (scientists) say so. I want to see the data. Is that unfair?
Even among a small subset, heterosexual males, there is no universal agreement as to what constitutes a set of secondary sexual characteristics the determine the most attractive potential mate/partner. Personal example, to my mind Hollywood starlets are too damn skinny, evidently most of America disagrees with me.
One thing from the article I strongly believe "Everyone...should see reason to question the American-ness of government imposing such a rigid [binary] prescription on everyone." I don't know the reason for different sexual preferences/practices between individuals. In fact, I don't care. It is not a filter I apply when determining who I want in my personal or professional circles. It is a filter I apply in determining a sexual partner/spouse. I see a reason to question, I just don't have a good answer, and quite frankly, I'm getting tired of spending 50% of my time virtue signaling to accommodate <1% of the population, when I'm fine with just minding my own business. How about assuming that I didn't intend to step on toes. Save being offended for when I act the ass, after you personally asked me to stop it.

Not knowing about gender variation is the fault of your school system, not science. Intersex was called "Hermaphrodite" as far back as ancient Greece. The root words being "Hermes" and "Aphrodite" gods of the Greek pantheon who were depicted as male and female. The 2 together denotes traits (and later discovered) genes from both. The first term of Intersex was in 1917. Gender variation is not a "new" discovery as far as science is concerned.

SPC Casey Ashfield - Despite my poor education in genetics over 40 years ago, I have an understanding of etymology, and of Greek mythology. I know what a hermaphrodite is, and the cause.
The genome of Homo Sapiens is made up of 23 chromosome pairs with a total of about 3 billion DNA base pairs. There are 24 distinct human chromosomes: 22 autosomal chromosomes, plus the sex-determining X and Y chromosomes. Hermaphrodites are XY. Hermaphroditism results from a defect in the autosomal chromosomes that interfere with testosterone receptors during In Utero development; nothing to do with the XX or XY pairings. It is not the result of XXY or XYY chromosomes "pairings", which are conditions known as trisomy.
So when did the adequate school systems add this level of genetics to the curriculum? 1917?
The XQ28 genetic variation which some scientists believe may have a higher prevalence in gay men. It was "discovered" in 2014, and is still subject to on-going research. As far as I know, it has not has not been recognized by a overwhelming majority of scientists as the cause. So when did gender variation extending beyond an individual's biological XX/XY sex become old news to geneticists.

Maj John Bell - Sir, Just to clarify I was not insulting you or your education background in my first post. I went to a very adequate school district and gender variation beyond male and female was a footnote at best. In regards to the social sciences, we often observe a behavior before figuring out why. Gender dysphoria was observed in Ancient Greece, and first started appearing as medical terminology in 1917 as I stated. But you pointed out the research with the human genome project. Even with the entire DNA sequence mapped out we still don't know why these variations happen with absolute certainty.
Information is important. I have friends who are military who are going through a gender transition. The mother of my godson WAS a he. As a he wore a Green Beret and E-7 rank. And I try to understand what she is going through.
