I&#x27;m not saying we should ignore them. Just that for most people the two concepts &quot;sex&quot; and &quot;gender&quot; aren&#x27;t separate, and trans people are simply regarded as quirky. For example there are people born with 6 functional fingers per hand but we still say that humans have 5 fingers per hand and don&#x27;t say that humans have anywhere between 0 and 8 fingers per hand.<p>Treating sex and gender separately makes it seem like they just accidentally coincide in case of 99.x% of the people.
