Wow! OK, yes, you're so right about not taking sides. I find it ridiculous that now trans has gone ape people simply turn against it. Trans has always been around and always will be and the fact of it going ape doesn't mean we should turn against it, it's just being weaponised to divide us. People's buttons are so easy to push, it's pathetic.

So interesting about Lia Thomas and the name. The mind simply boggles.

I do find sexual identity interesting because I feel my brain is very male in a certain way, that is that I'm very logical and analytical and my brain doesn't turn to mush when people are said to have died (not that I can understand sophisticated logic mathematical style at all but just talking basic logic), in fact, I think I'm more logical than most men really - OK it's just my opinion - but my sexual identity is strictly female.

I get bisexual, of course, but the non-binary thing I do find quite confronting because I've simply never encountered that until recently and now I see people who identify as non-binary and yes they seem non-binary too and I wonder how that can be a recent phenomenon and whether it's just always been there but people have suppressed it. Non-binary I do find intriguing I must say.

Although I was familiar with the phenomenon of intersex (which takes various forms) I also learnt recently the percentage - 1.7% - and what would be interesting to know is how intersex people tend to identify, for example, are people who identify as non-binary more likely to be intersex.
