  Yes, well done. Exceptions occur naturally, everywhere.

  To restate the initial point being discussed, “Humans are sometimes neither male nor female.” Please feel free to correct the initial point if you feel that I have misspoken here.

  Your comment seems to be agreeing with us while you are simultaneously unaware that you are agreeing with us. Something being an anomaly confirms that it exists. The normalcy or abnormalcy having no bearing on existence, which is the target here.

  No one is arguing that being born between genders is ‘normal’ or ‘common’, so what exactly are you stating?

    My comment is to drive home the point that if you’re a small enough minority, you shouldn’t expect the rest of the population to bend to your ideology. I carry no prejudice whatsoever, trans people can be as trans as they want.

    My point isn’t that “trans people don’t exist” like you and many others just infer. My point is that un-fully developed children should not be permitted to cease that development because of an emotional feeling.

    If you disagree fantastic, that’s why this is a point of contention. But to demonize and vilifiy those who disagree with you is childish and leads me to believe you haven’t fully developed yourself.

      According to the 2021 census, trans people are 5% of the population. Jewish people are 4% of the population. Where is your cutoff for what population is too minor to care about?

      There are so many flaws with this line of thinking which should be obvious to you, yet are not. I urge you to consider thinking this thought. Follow it to an actionable conclusion, then see how you feel about that conclusion. It may take you a few years so I wish you well on your journey.

  Your parents failed you. Your schooling failed you. Your society failed you. You’re an adult and you don’t even understand the concept that uncommon things exist. Instead you lash out in anger at the notion that such abnormalities might be acknowledged.

    Lash out in anger? I’m stating an opinion on a public forum. I very much understand these things exist, if you read my actual comment you’d realize that I have personal “lived experience” as you guys so loving claim. Get a grip and realize that just because people don’t agree with you doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

      I’ll ignore whatever “you guys” is supposed to mean. I never brought up lived experience and neither did you in this comment chain. A person jokingly commented a rigid, universal claim. You asked for an explanation to how the rigid claim was incorrect. You were shown counterexamples. You replied by quoting a dictionary definition in order to emphasize that the counterexamples are less common than the supposedly universal examples from the original comment. This is, obviously, irrelevant to the logic. That is why I said that you were failed by your parents, schooling, and society, because those three things were responsible for teaching you to understand reality around you and to be capable of reasoning. Your idea that infrequency is the same as nonexistence shows a deficit in basic reasoning. This has nothing to do with opinion.
