Cool, my main point was - if you define sex as binary and everything else as error, sex will be binary by definition. Like saying there are only two eye collors - blue and brown, everything else is abnormality. But in real world we can see that it's not so simple. I really don't care what percentage of people have grey eyes, I still would say that they are fully human with fully human rights afforded to them. If there was a massive discrimination and very real threats (and acts) of violence against them I would consider it morally wrong and I would still think that world would be a better place if we viewed each other as humans, not the "other".
>For what we know, the purpose of life appears to be the propergation of information.
Not really. From what we know there is no purpose to life other than what we invent for ourselves or I guess what your religion dictates (please let's not start "meaning of life" discussion). DNA evolving, reproducing itself etc is just emergent property of complex chemical reactions interacting with environment, there is no intentionality. As far as I can tell DNA neither has nor can have feelings, thoughts or intentions. We, as humans, tend to prescribe intentions to things without it.
>The relaity is that these parts are obviously working together to create a functioning human beeing
Same goes for SRY.Also I would like to add that genome alone means next to nothing without environment (e.g womb), it gets really complicated really fast.
>We could spin this discusison ad nauseum because what is "normal" and what is "fit for purpose" can only defined by human beeings, simmilary to what does and does not have "significance".
It's pedantics, but what is "fit for purpose" can be viewed objectively, the subjectivity comes from defining purpose, but generally yes I agree with you on this one and it['s kind of my reasoning. I believe life would be better for everyone if we acted to minimize unnecessary suffering. Memes like "there are only 2 genders" are actively hurting part of humanity without any good reason. Nor is this meme supported by science, empirical data, human feelings etc. It's just all around bad.
> I made a point out of beeing a minority meaning nothing at all. unless your definition of opression is not getting special treatment.
Sure if we ignore job discrimination, physcial violence, humiliation, viewing you as sinful, killing you, etc etc than that means nothing. If asking to be treated as human is special treatment.. I don't know dude, I don't agree.
>Why do you think some minorties are more accepted than others? Because they blend and because they are shown as "People".
As everything it's complex - we would have to talk which minority in what environment. I am sure that being more in line what the perceived status quo is helps, however I do not think it should be requirement, because frankly it's impossible for some (like becoming caucasian). When I said they are shown as people I meant - they are shown loving, hating, being excited or sad, thougtful or mindless etc etc. As people, not as some "other" evil caricatures.
