CW: Gender and logic nerd stuff (1/2)
We intuitionistic logicians are agnostic about the truth of the statement "for all Propositions P, either P or (not P)". From this, it shouldn't be hard to accept the negation of "gender_binary := for all Persons p, male(p) or female(p)", and since the number of people on this planet is finite, and since you can ask each of them (in finite time) whether there have a binary gender, it should just follow (constructively!) that there are non-binary people. Alternatively, I could just show them a non-binary college (e.g. me?); I suppose there are even many non-binary logicians.

@Empiricism Sometimes I can be too subtle, other times too cryptic.
My "added comments" would be just hoping to extend what I find to be valuable posts. Stronger critique or disagreement would (hopefully) be more obvious!
I think the term #CognitiveDissonance isn't going away, nor should be. I think #CognitiveHarmony fits very well with it.
When "solutions aren't clear" then we have a false state of harmony, no? [problem > solution > (harmony?) bias > correction > harmony!]
So now we can see that 'truth' (as applied to #ScientificConsensus) plays a role, in addition to perception. [The #historic unsolved problem of perception of #consonance deals directly with the human side, where #perception & opinion reign. This perception of "sounds right/good" does not cross #cultural boundaries without its own dissonance.]
So we have both #binary situations (T/F) and #trinary (and beyond), where there is no #ExcludedMiddle, no right/wrong. I'd like to invoke a #systemic description that can accommodate these different levels.
Even if this is just meant for individuals, a #gradient, #quantitative style of #measurement could be a helpful addition to what you laid out. It can help us be more #adaptable, accepting of change or differences, not feeling 'stupid' when wrong (or viewing others through that lens), participate more effectively in #democratic & scientific #processes, etc.
This is a #generalized enough idea that it is able to cross over into many, even disparate #disciplines. I think we align with the desire to improve existing #models, including the way they are communicated to the public.
