But These Are Generally Folks...
...who consider chromosomes irrelevant. In a sense, they're correct, under the rules they espouse. As far as they're concerned, if the genitals aren't consistent with the chromosomes, it's the chromosomes that are wrong.
I doubt that it's even binary: if you were born with a penis, you're male. If you weren't, you're not. It's like the Old Testament saying that pi is 3: it may not be accurate, but it's simple.

Black and white simplicity
The problem with getting to the minds behind the anti everything people is simple. Piaget noticed it in his cognitive developmental theory. Concrete thinkers are binary. All is simple 2 position: Yes/no, right/wrong, male/female, etc. Only the next developmental stage is able to see complexity. To understand bell curves and spectrums and the difference between causality and coincidence. It now seems the majority of people never reach this stage. This means they cannot understand true reality.
Also you didn’t factor chimerism into your explication of biologic complexity. Seems we may be a mosaic of different DNA rather than a single genotype.

If they really believe that
If they really believe that then the same rule must also include genes those little things that join the parts of the double helix.
How do they explain that no two humans are alike, come to that no two things are totaly alike. No totaly alike identical twins, no ants, no trees and no two grains of sand in the Sahara Desert or snow flakes in the Arctic.
I wonder if these people have ever eaten two identical meals?
I bet infinity confuses them.
Er, did they mention which standards they used to meaure these totally alike penises?
