I'm not even sure what that question means. There's seldom a need to define the sex of someone in law and when there is, it usually comes down to some biological difference which can be accounted for in law.

People who truly believe they’re the wrong sex tend to be transsexual, but there’s a growing number of people who are comfortable with their genitalia or believe they’re “non binary.” Are these ppl experiencing the same condition at different levels, or completely dif conditions?
-
I have no idea. So much of the science shows trans people not to have divergences from the norm that completely matches the opposite sex. Its just closer to it than the sex indicated by their gonads. Non-binary might actually be more accurate. But this is speculation.
-
I’ve yet to see a fleshed out definition of “non binary”, you can understand how this looks like playing with “identities.” It appears the these identities are considered above sexual orientation too. Does this look ideological to you? It seems postmodern in nature to me.
-
It certainly can be. I see a lot of ideology around it that is postmodern in nature. This can't change the reality of significant differences found in trans people's biology tho. We know ideologues exist who claim trans identity too.
-
One of the best pieces of evidence for that, a geneticist recently told me is that there were always twice as many MtF trans ppl & this seemed in keeping with higher male variability generally. Now there are twice as many girls claiming to be trans & that doesn't make sense.
-
Unless you accept that a lot of what is happening right now is rooted in gender ideology. All the more reason to keep watching the science and hoping to understand this better to avoid misdiagnosis.
-
I suspect we’re still a long way from definitive science. As you said it’s clear the “trans movement” is being influenced by ideologues, so self ID would be reckless, esp in a country of 65mil. I understand you may support self ID in principle, but do you support it practice?

I am sure. But trans people have no special, innate insight into reality. Like the rest of us.
-
Of course not. They know they exist tho. Like everyone does.
-
But that does mean their beliefs about themselves are correct.
-
It is probably correct that they feel like the opposite sex (We all know ideologues jumping on the band wagon exist.) and that's usually all they're claiming. They don't claim to have been born with vaginas. We have yet to fully understand why feel this way. We've been here.
