From man to woman and back with stops. "The Whole World Needs to Pay Attention to This!!!" | Jordan Peterson 2022

I would recommend following the WHO definition of gender as "the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time. " At the same time: "Gender interacts with but is different from sex, which refers to the different biological and physiological characteristics of females, males and intersex persons, such as chromosomes, hormones and reproductive organs. Gender and sex are related to but different from gender identity. ..." Gender identity and sexual orientation can be fluid as such but change neither the definition of gender as "norms and behaviours" nor the definition of sex as a set of "chromosomes, hormones and reproductive organs". It is likely that the sets of "chromosomes, hormones and reproductive organs" are not distributed discretely as one may suggest. Intersex persons are just ultimate cases of the smooth distribution of various parameters defining sex. In a sense, we are all different in terms of these "sex sets" and can claim individual sex by virtue of these differences. There are more than 8 billion sexes now and we could order them from 1 to 8+ billion. Then there will be no arguments against the increasing number of sexes introduced into common practice. The extreme "sex sets" express "the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys..." and are defined as "normal" by virtue of statistical predominance. I would refrain to call these people "statistically dominant" or "normal" but this is how it is in nature. There are probably hundreds of millions of other ways to define gender identity and sexual orientation as related to that "person’s deeply felt, internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond to the person’s physiology or designated sex at birth."
