"Bodies are different. We're all on a bell curve. Those bell curves overlap a lot more than they don't, and the range of what it means to be a man or a woman is huge. A man being shorter than a woman doesn't mean that they're both not really that gender. A woman being taller than a man doesn't mean they're both not really that gender."
