you most literally can change the rules of language on the fly. that’s kinda how language works and is created.
edit: removed the last comment as the previous guy was the one going on about sex first, regardless, differing levels of hormones can often influence this, considering males can have varying levels of estrogen and vice versa for females and testosterone. other animals often portray characteristics opposite that of their sex, as well.
this is just an odd thing for you to care about. why wouldn’t you instead let people live their life without your criticism when they clearly are having trouble parsing their place in life and their understanding of themselves.
Hahaha, no. I have a PhD in this. I publish about it. I literally get paid to do it.
There is much evidence that physiological differences are commonly present in people with non-cis genders. For example, it is true that there are documented differences in the shapes of rain structures of the average transgender person (and there are so many papers about it I’m just going to link the scholar search page instead of each individual article). These differences aren’t even abnormal or abberations from the standard state of human beings, and examples of similar situations extend into the natural world.
There are many animals with measurable gender variations, such as pairs of individual birds where the gender roles for nest care and territory management are switched compared to conspecifics, fish that naturally change sex over their lifetime, the fact that the standard state of north American Mountain Goats is to display homosexual behavior, and other large populations of mammals where many to most members are intersex. You can read about most/all of these examples and see their cited studies in Joan Roughgarden’s Evolution’s Rainbow.
It is funny that people are still so resistant to these ideas. It goes to show how effective our cultural biases and narratives have been that we have eliminated not only the realities of our peers alive today, but of humans throughout history, and even animals in nature.
