Ultimately I'm not going to do anything against anyone regardless of my feelings so, whatever. Having said that -

Everything I've heard, seen, and read on gender dysphoria leads me to believe there is biological legitimacy to MtF and FtM transgender people, so I have zero objections there. My skepticism lies with things outside of that, because I haven't seen any good arguments for things like bigender, agender, gender-fluidity, etc. beyond "That's how they feel." That's a poor reason to accept it without question; some people are insane and feel like they're something they plainly aren't, like a dog or a chair or something. I want concrete biological reasoning. Like I said though, I'm not going to harass them about it because, in the end, it doesn't affect me.

The issue is that human conscious is non-transferable. There will never be biological proof through empiricism. All of it will forever be politically driven speculation. A human being cannot split a single person's consciousness into two parts and test for what feels female and what feels male. Any argument made that feelings in the brain are more integral to the identity of consciousness will always have an equally legitimate counter that the body determines the identity of consciousness and not the other way around. In other words, you could equally make a case in any scenario in which a male brain which has more femininely identified traits is simply a male archetype that is an exceedingly rare male archetype, not a female one because by default it's a male thought process. Just a very rare one.
