And I think that you're picking up correctly on that.
So to be a gender, you have to somehow be traceable back to biological sex.
So being a man is somehow associated with a set of biological sex characteristics.
Being a woman is associated with a different set of biological sex characteristics.
Being non-binary is connected to being a man or a woman.
To be non-binary is to not fall into either of those categories comfortably.
So it's traceable back to man and woman, and man and woman are traceable back to the biology.
So ultimately, there's a line that goes from non-binary to biology.
But it's a complicated set of connections.
Right.
So your main connection is via the man gender category.
So you join this social category and you opt in to be classified as a man by the people around you.
That's what you want.
And, you know, hopefully if you successfully socially transition, what you get, I think what you ought to get.
So you are connected to the man category.
The man category is connected to biological features associated with maleness and
you may or may not end up with those biological features or some of those biological features.
So I certainly don't think that to be a trans man, you have to end up with a penis, for instance.
So actually the one, I think, common misconception about how transitioning works
is that there is a magic operation, which probably consists in the installation or removal of a penis and makes you biologically as much like members of the sex associated with the gender you want to join as possible.
