How about if you have the not-that-unusual condition of an XXY chromosome? Or an XYY? Should the government decide your sex?

It feels pointless to discuss “science” with those shouting “binary” but let’s try. Forget feelings. What if you’ve had gender reassignment surgery and in almost every way but that Y chromosome, you’re female by cultural standards. Should you be in an all-male dorm or prison?

How about hermaphroditism? For all the world, you were born a girl only to develop ambiguous genitalia at puberty? Read Middlesex if you think this is fanciful.

Point is, for all the people laughing at the notion that gender and sex can be scientifically complicated, well it can — even if you wish to dismiss gender identification as some sort of mental illness.

This was my first take as well. You can’t force someone genetically. What will they do, demand every trans person be genetically tested? That’s insanity. You go through the insurmountable hardship of being trans- you can be whatever you identify to be. More power to you!

I don't remember any national discussion about trans people, and it is self-evident that there is no consensus. So what we had was Obama, the federal courts and bureaucracy, and the news media imposing their view upon everyone else.

And now that Trump is considering restoring the status quo ante the Left is getting hysterical. Two weeks before an election and they're gonna unhinge themselves.

What does "female by cultural standards" mean, and how does castration make one female by cultural standards? There are men who have been castrated, for example, because of testicular cancer. Are they now female by cultural standards?
