You are changing your previous opinion then?
I bet you didn't expect to meet a molecular biologist in this thread!
no, the XX criteria was for simplistic discussion to avoid going into more detail to say the same, i.e., gender is not fixed, shit happens and u may find yourself undergoing an undesired sex change but it is not hormones that are the triger for the most fundamental changes.
You can take male hormones all ur live and your ovaries wont become testis. Yeah you get some male traits like hair, muscle etc, but that does not make u a man. most chinese men have less hair than italian women.
In the end of course it goes down to what is ur party favourite. hormonised women are close to one extreme of the female spectrum but dont forget there are huge diffs within women regarding natural hormone levels and even if they take the same high doses they differ from transsexuals in that they do not want a sex change
male BBers benefit from the fact that there is no 3rd sex in humans , so taking male traits to extreme is not seen as sex change, but it ought to be
Anyway the point is gender is bio and cult defined and there is flexibility on both aspects. There are small regions of black/white , but most is just a big grey area , and that means that if ur sexuality is defined by the gender of people u like then its grey there too
bottom line fbbers are a little nuts to want to look like they do if we consider the society pressure but they are still women.
male bbers are a little nuts to want to look like they do if we consider the society pressure but no one doubts their gender because there is no 3rd gender to compare
