1. If that's the case, then how do you explain the fact that some people with CAIS, whose bodies don't recognize, produce or react to testosterone, have male identity?

2. If it's all about the presence of testosterone, then how come most people with CAH, whose bodies produce huge amounts of testosterone, have female identity?

3. Even if it's all down to testosterone, then the existence of non-binary people is entirely possible, assuming their brain received some small doses of testosterone, not enough to make them develop entirely male identity, but enough to disconnect them from a female identity.

4. If gender is in the brain, then please tell me how does it manifest itself? Can we see the difference between men and women in their abilities? Say, all men without exception are naturally better than all women at math? Nope. Then perhaps the differnece is in their personalities and all women are naturally more nurturing than all men? Again, no. Then does the difference manifest itself in the deep and strong feeling of belonging to one's gender? The existence of genderqueer people proves that it's not the case. Alright, so maybe it manifests itself through body dysphoria? Again, genderqueer people prove that you can have dysphoria and not identify as male or female. So then please tell me: how do tell someone's gender?

5. If body dysphoria was all there was to gender, then how come FTM's having breat reduction surgery don't view it in the same way as cis women having breat enlargement surgery? Why do trans people reject their assigned gender role, instead of viewing surgery as a purely aesthetic change? How come we don't see them argueing angrily that just changing one thing about their body doesn't mean that they're no longer women and they identify as women who simply prefer their chest flat and their genitalia dingly? How come genderqueer people also feel body dysphoria (the fact that I repeatedly stated in this thread, yet you still pretend to be ignorant of it, probably because it doesn't fit in with your worldview and you think that pretending this doesn't happen will make it stop happening)?

Face it, gender either isn't biological, or the biology of genderqueer people is different from the biology of cis or binary trans people. What's more, if binary gender was a real thing, then it would be possible to pinpoint at least one menatl trait that is present in all men without exception and not a single woman; as well one trait that is present in all women without exception, but not a single man. There is no such thing, therefore proving that the idea of gender being binary is bullcrap.
