Intersex woman: 'This pink and blue thing is nonsense'

I love this woman. What a brave and altruistic interview to give. One of the strangest things to me, though, is why it's such a big question. Surely it is as it is? Why can't society see that so many aspects of the way we live and the categories we are shoehorned into are created by society - not 'right' or ' wrong', just opinion. Often based on religious values or drawn up hundreds of years ago when our understanding of science was considerably less. What will we be discussing in 100 years from now?
