What Is Enlightenment? - Issue 16: "KB: Have you ever had your chromosomes tested? WIE: Not that I'm aware of. KB: Then how do you know whether you have a male body or a female body? There are actually fourteen possible combinations at that particular chromosome level. There's XX, XY, XXY, YYX, XO, XXX, XOX. . . . Does that mean there are fourteen genders? So gender isn't at the level of chromosomes. WIE: Well, there are the typical secondary sex characteristics that generally identify our bodies as male or femaleâ014breasts, facial hair, etc. And we also present ourselves as a particular gender, such as in the way we dress or wear our hair. But the idea I'm getting at is the possibility of transcending gender identification while living in a world where we still inhabit bodies that are identified as male or female."
