        Hot take: I want us all to be assigned chromosomes at birth for medical reasons, and then just have it not be a thing that gets talked about outside of medical situations. I read somewhere (and I’m saying this without a source for now) that as we advance genetic science, it’s turning out that a much larger percentage of people are intersex, or at least some variation of chromosomes other than xx or xy. So like, get that test at birth and then have your chromosomes as a part of your medical file so a Dr knows how to treat your body. Like blood type. And then, trans-ness is such a small percentage of people that most xx’s will still want to be little girls and most xy’s will still want to be little boys, but the pressure to fit in a box will start to fade, and the idea that there even is a binary will just go away, because its already not true. No more “its a boy, it’s a girl” bullshit, just “we had a healthy baby! They will develop into a kind and honest person one day, because we will raise them that way. We will be happy if they are an Olympic figure skater, or an archeologist, or a janitor, as long as they are happy and safe!”

          I love your vision, and I hope we keep moving in a sensible reality-based direction like that.

          But then I look at the world and think that’s just one set of labels among a million that prompt some people to do awful shit. Kids would still bully the kids that dress different if we had no words for gender roles but still lived in the rest of our deeply ill culture.

          But hey, I am also gonna keep making my little spot on the earth a kind and honest place despite, you know, all of everything.
