The whole gender problem can easily be resolved by introducing the notion of Schroedinger's gender . According to this notion, we can't know somebody's gender untill we ask that person to disclose it. What's more, unless we have such a disclosure we can't even assume that a person has one particula...

If you want to be unkind (and this is the evil 'pit after all) most psychology is tosh.
