Well.

There's my attempt at pep-talking myself at 1 in the morning.

In the context of 19th century and early to mid-20th century academic and social discourse upon the human condition, the body is conceived as a functioning, living object is supposed to determine the abilities and roles of the living being.

Anatomy, therefore, is to a great extent the heralding factor of destiny.

Gender, on the other hand, is the product of socialization and, therefore, gender identity is not fixed, and it has changed greatly over time. Gender is not biological. It is not anatomy. Rather, it is social and cultural.

Gender is an idea.

Simone de Beauvoir wrote in 1948 that the "representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth." The world--and a Nation--is neither fully male or female.

And this is where the problem lies.

How can a single person or Nation say that there are only two categories--a simplistic, pure bilateral set--to define all the differences between the sexes? Are there only two sexes and therefore genders? But then where do those who have attributes of the other fit in? Are we to say that a body born with undeveloped testicles but also fully working female organs is an unfit female? Could we not also say that it is an undeveloped--and therefore failed--male? Where does someone like this fit into a gendered society that comes in two tones and constant duality of roles?

Who are we to decide these things as God supposed created Adam and Eve?

Most official forms nowadays have two categories to choose from: male or female. From the day a person is born, they are separated into two distinct social groups that have different colours, different designations, different expectations. But what if, in the course of this selection, we designate some as female who is really a male? Can the nature of a person overcome their nurture?

Who are we to play God?

Furthermore, if we are to assume that there is a God, did He not create all creatures great and small in his image. Was not even Lucifer once His servant, and, to an extent, continues to be by acting His antithesis? To divide this world into male and female--into a simple duality--, is that not an act that simplifies God's creations themselves?

In the end, everyone must leave this Earth, and--whether there is a God or not--the body and its gender does not utterly define the entire soul.
