And I'm not going to. The hypotheticals you want to debate are openly designed to beg the question that in some circumstances human rights should not exist.

I do take people seriously who have species dysphoria and that's why I'm not debating you about those people who aren't in this conversation right now to correct either one of our assumptions about them.

Human rights are clearly for humans. We have designated the two sexes need some delineation to allow for dignity and safety when vulnerable. It’s pretty easy. If people want to remove the binary system of M/F, we need to have a big talk about it.

The binary system is artificial and we never got to talk about enforcing it so if we're going to have a big talk let's start at the beginning.

Tell me, do you know of anyone born other than with a mother & a father? (A handful gene edited, at least 1m & 1f) One Male, one female. That is the binary, it is not artificial. It is not enforced, it just is. It is human biology. A tiny %age don’t fit it.

When you admit making babies is the end goal of the binary gender system, you admit that it's invented. Because human civilizations have organized themselves around the planning of babies, and not in a way that deals well with babies "just happening" as a surprise.

Cobblers! Who invented it. It just is. Same as cats, elephants, any other mammals - or did they sit down & invent it as well? “Planning” in relation to childbirth is very new. Women had ways of preventing birth but societies frowned on it & it was often illegal. Read a book!

Silphium, an herb used by the ancient Romans for contraception, was so important a trade good it is a prominent symbol on the coinage of the city of Cyrene, where it was grown, and so popular it was eventually harvested to extinction

It was about as effective as the Egyptians use of crocodile dung.
