Well, an open challenge that might help someone understand what I actually think, at least along one axis:
Let's say I want to objectively evaluate the notion that there is such a thing as an arbitrary, self-declared, non-binary "gender" (or "gender identity") that can range across any number of "genders".
In that case, can you specify the set of propositions used to classify something as a "gender"?
Is your definition purely self-referential (cyclic)?
Does your definition exclude other social self-identifications, such as "goth" or "emo"? Why or why not?
Does your definition rely on references to "biological sex" (e.g. male/female)? If so, what are the sexes "male" and "female"?
