That’s not transitioning - he didn’t transition.
Right...
He is on one extreme.
And as I said, it's not binary.
Some people, dress fulltime, but still have the same motivations as Noem's husband.
It's weird...
I wrote all that about how we should look at people individually, and you definitely read it, but still responded saying the "real solution" is making a shit ton of boxes to put them in along a single axis.
Completely and totally missing the larger point that there's innumerable different axis.
The logical result of your idea, ends in mine where everyone is a unique person.
You're just not thinking all the way thru.
Even two people on exactly the same spot on this axis, have so many different things, that getting them in the same "box" on this a is is pointless.
All boxes are pointless when talking about an individual.
You're thinking of nouns and not adjectives, and that's reductive even if coming from a good place.
Edit:
To clarify, Noem's husband was an example of someone who (infrequently and in private) portrays themselves as a gender other than what they were assigned at birth.
It is a very long axis, and on the other end are people who get full surgery and live entire lives as a different gender.
Along the axis are occasional cross dressers, drag queens, people that just change underwear, and just literally too many different points to list.
Because if you keep looking closer, no two humans are ever exactly the same on any single axis.
Making two boxes is dumb.
Making 3 boxes is dumb, or 4 or 27, or however many different boxes, it will never be enough until every one has their own box, which is where we'd end up treating everyone as individuals on an individual level.
