So, for example, Viola / Cesario in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Who needs great literature? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_(Twelfth_Night) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_(Twelfth_Night) And regarding "the other biological sex"... It is not at all simple to define biological gender in a such a way that there are only two of them. Genitalia, hormones, and chromosome patterns are far from sufficient. In many cases, the gender assigned at birth is arbitrary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

> It is not at all simple to define biological gender in a such a way that there are only two of them. It's ridiculously easy to do so, and commonly done .. the catch is that it's not all encompassing enough to cover all human births. Richard Dawkins frequently weasel words his responses, clearly stating that there are only two reproductive (human) sexes ... Obviously that doesn't cover all the human biological forms that are birthed, nor even does it cover the stages and ages of common human lives .. but it's easy and gets a lot of play.

  So its not easy, because it doesnt cover all cases. Like yeah, its easy to define all colors in only black and white, if i just ignore all colors that arent black or white.
