Of course, just to play Devil's Advocate (my favourite game): If you define gender as a "combination of idiosyncratic social traits", then you can indeed have a spectrum... a TESTABLE one at that. Yeah, I suppose. But the prevailing traits can also be used in test form to earn a score as being one or another based on the selections. If you do a quiz about cultural questions, you don't invent a new culture by picking different traits from a few, you relate to the one chosen most frequently. If multiple scores can results in the same result, you've just established a smaller spectrum though. Not if you're in group A or group B. It just means nobody is the same. You can be a white person if your hair is brown, blond, or red. You're not some other, new thing. We aren't robots, natural variation exists, but one little thing doesn't mean you're not part of the group anymore. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:878482636] in How many g...
