General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

To restate the initial point being discussed, "Humans are sometimes neither male nor female."
An anomaly differs from the common, as you state.
But in this discussion, we are talking about "the existence of something" and not "the normalcy of something". Those are completely separate discussions.
No one is arguing that being born between genders is 'normal' or 'common', in fact, the abnormalcy of it is what allows those who carry prejudice and hate in their hearts to hurt and kill these people physically and legislatively.
In short, your comment presents no information relevant to the topic at hand.
My comment is to drive home the point that if you're a small enough minority, you shouldn't expect the rest of the population to bend to your ideology. I carry no prejudice whatsoever, trans people can be as trans as they want.
My point isn't that "trans people don't exist" like you and many others just infer. My point is that un-fully developed children should not be permitted to cease that development because of an emotional feeling.
If you disagree fantastic, that's why this is a point of contention. But to demonize and vilifiy those who disagree with you is childish and leads me to believe you haven't fully developed yourself.
According to the 2021 census, trans people are .5% of the population. Jewish people are .4% of the population. Where is your cutoff for what population is too minor to care about?
There are so many flaws with this line of thinking which should be obvious to you, yet are not. I urge you to continue thinking this thought. Follow it to an actionable conclusion, then see how you feel about that conclusion. It may take you a few years so I wish you well on your journey.
Keep thinking, keep considering, follow the path.
