One of the most vexed subjects of our time is the fascinating assault on antique and established expectations of humans dividing into male and female and coming together as man and woman.

Almost, but not quite: as the events of the Paris Olympics have shown (the liberté, egalité, bisexualité of the opening ceremony – not my joke, I saw it somewhere – and the 46 second boxing match between an XX and an XY), there is much controversy to be had.
I have written about this subject twice before in the Daily Sceptic, in articles entitled ‘The Bizarre Logic That Underpins the Trans Movement’ and ‘The Sexual Feedback Loop’. Here is yet another attempt to think about what is going on.
