Coda, that is a generic, generically there are 7 genders that people identify with on a global scale if you like i can go into more detail of how anthropologically you taught the 7 area of gender. In Islam a masculine female is someone who does Male activities but is female by sex and identify as a female. Same with feminine male, they preform a women's actives but are male by genetic sex and identify as a male. Those are about the easier ways to put it because innersex in the Jewish circle is Androgynos, while in Indonesia is if Bissu. They are both a third gender meaning innersex.

And yes it is that easy Coda, genetically if you have a Y chromosome you have more 'maculine features' such as a triangular pelvis and larger mastoidal processes. When you lack a Y chromosome your pelvis is a more round to square shape to provide for child birth. Really it is only 2 sex system because the third sex is an 'indeterminate' meaning it is a mix of features and not clearly defined. Hermaphrodites are classified by what works, egg or sperm production. And if neither work they are classifed by if they lack or have a Y, if they have XXY and a working penis they are classified as male, if no working penis then female. If XYY (super Male) you are typically a sterile male, due to working a penis.

Who you are attracted to, and what sex you wish to identify as, is part of Gender. Ulti please dont read this... I dont want to offend you but anthropologically this is how it is defined. Even if your brain identifies as female and you change your soft tissue to become more female(defined as XX) your DNA still shows as XY(defined as male). You chose to either call yourself transgendered, meaning that you have physically switched your gender, or you identify as the gender of your new body.

In the United States your birth certificate has two boxes, male or female. Those are the only genders that the united states as a government identifies and endorses. Ulti choses to mark the box called other on some forms but in a US census you do not have a 3rd box to mark, it is male or female and Ulti will have to choose to mark one of those boxes and identify as that for census purposes.

I am in Anthropology, this is how we are taught. If you don't agree with it... then get the US to change how they want it taught.
