Most of us live in our God given physical bodies just fine. The rest of us who feel as if they are not in the right body suffer from an unfortunate mental illness.
So if society decides that your politics or your religion is an unfortunate mental illness... You're okay with that?

Lol yeah sure. That’s what we call a false equivalency.

Are you only attracted to one “type” of woman?
There are strong women, and patient women, and pushy women and pushover women and assertive women and retiring women ... do you only like women with one hair color or style? How about favorite body features, is it the exact same for every woman you’ve ever been attracted to?
Different strokes.
Has nothing to do with "body"
The term is "psyche"

"No. Just no.
There are two. Anything else is a birth defect, nothing more, nothing less."
Medical science disagrees.
Emphatically.

Actually, it is the opposite - at least with respect to humans (don't conflate the issue by trying to bring some asexual amorphous amphibians into it).
There is male. There is female. Anything else is a birth defect. PERIOD.

did u guys know there's this little ruler they have in hospitals, and when a baby is born with 'ambiguous' genitals they pull out this ruler and measure them. and if the genitals are over a certain length, they call it a 'boy' and if they're under a certain length they call it a 'girl', and very often they'll do a surgical intervention on the newborn to make the class they've just chosen for this child seem less arbitrary.
Estimates on how many children are deemed 'ambiguous' in this way vary quite a lot but i've read that it's upwards of 8%.
This is all genuinely true and i'm not exaggerating in any way.

You are mistaken from a biological, physiological and medical point of view.
Your classification of all differences as defects points directly at your agenda.

One of many succinct statements of the medical facts:
World Health Organzation - Gender and Genetics
Notice, there is no inclusion of the phrase “birth defects” in this description, just as there are none in any professional medical or scientific organizations’ description.
“Birth Defects” is a pejorative and unnecessary term in this instance.

My opinion, if you choose to call it that, is informed by physiology, biology and medical science.
Yours is ... based on you.
the only bubble in evidence here is one that denies current scientific understanding.
There is a difference between belief and truth.
However, the claims that any differences in biological makeup in regard to sexual physiology and your repeated claim that any conception of gender besides yours is a celebration of “birth defects” is absurd.
IF we were to consider sex differences as birth defects, that actually further justifies supporting those who suffer from them socially, legally, ethically, philosophically, etc. You don’t seem to have thought through your generic argument very fully.
