You believe:
- there is a human spirit;
- this spirit is sexual in the sense of male or female;
- it develops, if it develops, independent of biology and genetics, and Evolutionary or physical influence;
- these spirits tend to inhabit sexual biological bodies that conform to the sex of the spirit;
- sometimes a spirit inhabits a body that is sexually incongruent, resulting in transgender phenomena.
If the word "sex" is rejected, we will concede "gender" as a synonym and euphemism for sex.
If you prefer the terms "masculine" and "feminine" or their synonyms or euphemisms, rather than "male" and "female", we will so stipulate.
If the implication of a clear dualism is too binary for you, we will agree that behaviors, psychology, degrees of brain dimorphism, endocrinal profiles, and what have you -- each may be placed on its relevant "male-female" or "masculine-feminine" continuum.
If the concepts of male-female is too dualistic, Western, Christian or american for you, we will accept the foundational and enduring tenets of any culture or hypothetical civilization you propose, provided that it meaningfully survived the challenge of contact and engagement with some other actual and viable culture.
We will accept any reasonable definition of "meaningful" you choose, provided that it [1] did/does not excuse catastrophic population collapse, and [2] did/does not allow survival by parasitism, eg, cannibalism or slavery;
We will accept any definition of "reasonable" you prefer, provided it recognizes the law of the excluded middle, the law of non-contradiction, and the law of identity.
Given all this, we must agree that the tranz worldview, Tranzism,
is fundamentally religious.
