>Why would I want to try to resolve my issues within this gendered framework? Am I really primarily male? That seems like a forced choice to me.

It is a forced choice. The model of gender as a binary state rather than a spectrum is an obsolete and harmful social construct.

If it’s not a binary, it’s still a very much bimodal distribution. Ironically, the notion that gender is either a binary or a spectrum is a false dichotomy. It’s obviously a bimodal distribution with most, but not all, people clustered around one of the two peaks.

Well yeah... that's exactly what it is. By "spectrum" I didn't mean to imply an even distribution.
