Von mentalen Auswirkungen, gefühlter Identität, die ja auch mehr als binär sein kann, ist da noch gar nicht die Rede.
Der Artikel schliesst mit einem schönen Absatz:
So if the law requires that a person is male or female, should that sex be assigned by anatomy, hormones, cells or chromosomes, and what should be done if they clash? "My feeling is that since there is not one biological parameter that takes over every other parameter, at the end of the day, gender identity seems to be the most reasonable parameter," says Vilain. In other words, if you want to know whether someone is male or female, it may be best just to ask.
