By that standard, Gender determines sex based on these things, you are either male or female unless a genetic deformation occurs in the womb at which point there is an option C. But everything beyond option C is just a made up construct in a persons mind. All of this gender confusion is an unfortunate side effect of the way society has backed away from the standard "male" and "female" roles, out of fear of offending people. Everything beyond option C only exists out of political correctness and the fear of offending others. The more we back away from the standards that brought our race to where it is today, the more our children will become confused about their identities. If you tell a child they can be a unicorn if they want to be, most will choose to be a unicorn, but alas, they are not a unicorn. Gender is not a choice, it is given to us in our genetic make up.

What website? Why do you value its definition so much? Or am I incorrect in that assumption? I'm curious, not saying you're wrong to think so. : )
What standard male and female roles are you talking about?
The unicorn analogy is the same kind of analogy that if gay people can get married so can a dog and a person. Its irrelevant and in case of the god and person very insulting and vile. Truly believing you are a unicorn is psychosis, where as believing you are a certain gender is not. I think the more and more people that explore gender the less we'll all care about it in general, letting people be what they are without giving them any kind of role.
Its not about confusion either. Its about exploring and choosing for yourself. Being allowed to be what you want to be.
Politically correct? How is treating someone with basic respect and dignity the same as, what I'm assuming here, special treatment?
