Our individual genetics decide our biological state. Including rare combinations that introduce variety to the binary male and female. It is therefore not true to say we only exist as two forms, or that two forms are 'normal' in that sense. It is the rare variations that lead to new forms of the physical as any plant or animal breeder knows.
In todays world the physical can be reconstructed, in ways much more sophisticated than Dr Money ever dreamed possible. In such cases only the genetics betray the original. And while it may suit some to think there can only ever be an either or, that limited worldview ignores the reality, that if human beings can imagine something it is only too possible they will make it so.
Mental illness? Perhaps. But then, defining mental health is as dodgy as defining the physical. Variety rules...
