LET IT OUT
Gender Identity and Expression at Home; Breaking Free from Binary Gender
The binary system of gender is based on the false assumption that biological sex is binary, but there is a lot of diversity in both biological sex and gender identity beyond that./nBiology is not binary either, as evidenced by the existence of intersex individuals who do not fit into strictly male or female categories./nThe number of intersex individuals is significant, roughly equivalent to the population of redheads or twice the population of Canada./nThe system of gender is based on a false dichotomy of sex assigned at birth, and there is much more diversity in biology, including differences in genitals, chromosomes, and hormone levels./nTestosterone, often associated with masculinity, is present in everybody's body and its levels can be influenced by various factors, such as competition or nurturing behaviors./nChromosomes are not limited to just XX and XY, with many people having additional genetic variations with different implications.
