gender is a formal axiomatic system. this is not obvious, because language serves both to describe our world and allow us to reason about it.
this is to say that ideas about gender, ways of describing how arbitrarily messy humans *fit* into genders, will always either be:
-incomplete but consistent
-complete but inconsistent
a lot of discussion would rather insist that restrictive binary gender ideologies are complete AND consistent.
which is absurd.
