    Intersexed and transsexualism

    Rogers' insistence on contrasting intersexed people and transsexuals seems potentially quite flawed. I doubt transsexuals are any more 100% male or female in psychology than the rest of us, just heavily skewed in a direction opposite their genetic sex. In that sense their brain rather than external phenotype are intersexed. Rogers seems so worried about people lumping sexuality, sex and gender together that he may go to far and make them artificially discrete.
