If we take it to an even further extreme. What do we say if a

trans-species a Stevie Nicks?

2. That's a mind bender.

3. The Wheaties cover is probably not going to happen again.
Lucky Charms maybe, but not Wheaties.

Gender identity is way different to what is written on the birth certificate.

I know of a person who was born intersex and it was basically chosen by the parents and doctors as to what gender they would be assigned. They then grew up and found that they didn't identify with either gender, or rather identified with some parts of both genders. They are now happy to identify as both male and female.

You'd be surprised just how many people are born intersex or who don't identify with the gender that they were assigned at birth.

Physical characteristics don't necessarily define gender, we as a society like to put labels on people for the purposes of classification. Biological sex does not define gender identity, nor does it define sexual orientation.

Not sure if you are just trolling though
