Thinking in black and white is easy, that's probably what's so attractive about this world view. If the terms male and female are only about what reproductive role you could potentially fulfill, you could be anyone aside from that, and that leaves a lot of gray. So people try to get the boxes back so they can push people into them again. All neat and easy again.

The only exception here seems to be the "non binary" people, who do recognize shades of gray, but seem to think they're the only ones in that area.
