UK: As a Non-Binary Person, This Transgender Referee Warns Binary People They "Need To Be More Careful"

There is a really interesting segment here that is very revealing. The Journalist asks the Transgender athlete, "What about the suggestion that Trans Athletes should have a separate category of competition.

The response is: "Come on. It's 2019 now. It's totally unfair. We are human beings. Nobody chooses to be transgender. So, uh, give us a break."

It occurs to me that Transgender people call themselves non-Binary, while the rest of us identify ourselves with a word denoting one or the other side of a Binary.

This means we identify ourselves with the Binary, while the Transgenders are non-Binary, or Supra-Binary, meaning beyond Binary.

This is why they have come up with dozens of words to identify their gender orientation.

My point here is, before we even get to the specifics of how an individual identifies their gender, we have two classes of people; those who are Binary and those who are non-Binary.

Therefore, non-Binary people, like this Referee, truly are a separate class outside of those who are Binary.

And we ought to have the right to identify ourselves as a separate class, just as surely as they have the right to identify themselves as "non-Binary."

A person doesn't "identify their gender". How they appear to others does. You call them like you see them, that's the first purpose of "gender" in the first place. The second purpose is to ensure that you don't look like the gender that you are not, to other people, so that you are not confused with the wrong sex when people are seeking a mate. Because it's hard enough, on this rock that we live on, to find a desired mate.

Keep your crazy to yourself.
