@godpod This is rubbish logic. Gender as an alias for specifically human sexuality is absolutely a binary, and manliness as an adjective can have degrees. You could even have a manly woman as a reference to some attribute typically associated with men. She would still be a woman because that is a binary type not a spectrum.

In programming terms integers can be sorted and ranked, and strings can be sorted and ranked, but as far as types go they are still one or the other, never both or between.
