        You cannot put down both or none on any government form that does not consider gender to be a non-biological thing.

        Laws are not supposed to be selectively applied. If they can put down whichever one they choose, you are admitting your definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ do not apply to how society works.

        I know “the exception that proves the rule” is a fun phrase, but it’s not actually how things work.

            Again, laws are not supposed to be selectively applied. If they can put ‘man’ or ‘woman’ on any form, so can anyone else. Or do you think they need some sort of confirmation by a doctor before they’re allowed to fill out any sort of government forms?

        If intersex people are an edge case, then so are trans people.

        And yet…
