That's okay. I'm peering through the internet and into your mind.

> Is ANY gender based in ANY way on the sexual organs (and thus the biologically assigned sex) of ANY human?

Nope. See my above statements for proof.

Nice. Since the answer is "Nope", here comes my point: What IS the meaning of gender anyway? Shouldn't we rather call each human's "gender" their unique personality instead? Since that's what it actually is? What is the meaning of saying "My gender is woman"? What IS a woman? In the past "woman" was tied to the reproductory organ. Since it no longer is, well... let's get rid of the notion altogether. It only serves to put labels on personalities, and these labels themselves are based on ancient obsolete ideas.

At what point did everyone stop strip searching people and inspecting their reproductive organs? Must have been before I was born.

That's ingenious, because everyone did not bother strip searching since they made their explicit conclusions about what was between your legs by the external appearance and behavior alone :)
