The old man wiped his face and bowed his head.

“In fact, decades ago, this world was not like this. At that time, Beautiful Star was indeed, as the name suggests, a beautiful, fertile, and stable planet. We elected the Great President of Beautiful Star through elections, and he ruled this world, but… the situation gradually changed.”

“Oh?”

“During the presidential election about seventy years ago, one of the presidential candidates brought up the issue of concern and protection for minority groups, specifically targeting those with intersex conditions… Do you know what this means?”

“What is that?”

“It means someone who appears to be a woman on the outside but biologically is a man, or vice versa, someone who looks like a man on the outside but biologically is a woman.”

Duanmu Huai explained lightly, which greatly surprised both Mary and Anya.

“There are such people?”

“It’s considered a kind of genetic mutation; you can ask Sherry for more details.”

Duanmu Huai had seen many similar reports in his own world, for example, a couple that had been married for 20 years without children went to the hospital for a check-up and discovered that the wife was actually a man — of course, this doesn’t mean the person had male physical characteristics, but rather, male biological traits inside their body.

Of course, this is not limited to humans; some animals also exhibit similar traits. For instance, a famous racehorse named “Beautiful Posture” was a mare who won many championships with abilities that did not seem at all mare-like, but after retiring, despite many attempts at breeding, she was unable to become pregnant. Therefore, rumors circulated that Beautiful Posture also suffered from a similar condition.

Meaning, on the surface, she looked like a mare, but on a biological genetic level, she was actually more like a stallion.

There was also the protagonist Sadako from the horror novel “The Midnight Ring,” who appeared to be an outstanding beauty but in fact had the same condition.

All in all, intersex variations are incredibly diverse; you can find cases where someone looks like a man but has female organs or vice versa, looks like a woman but has male organs, and even more bizarre cases where they have neither or both — the latter might even try self-reproduction.

“There’s actually such a disease.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s explanation, both Mary and Anya felt their horizons had been broadened.

“Can this condition be treated?”

“Of course, generally speaking, surgery and hormonal adjustments are sufficient. In the Star Union, it’s even possible to correct it directly at the genetic level. It’s not too troublesome.”

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders and looked towards the old man, who smiled wryly and nodded.

“Actually, that’s what we used to do, but that candidate came up with a completely unexpected proposal. She believed that this mutation was not a deformity but a naturally occurring third gender, so she advocated for society to accept this mutation and provide a tolerant social environment for them…”

“And then what happened?”

“Of course, initially, this initiative did not receive much attention, as intersex individuals were indeed too rare, and the public was actually more concerned about the health issues of cancer patients…”

That was quite normal.

Duanmu Huai nodded. Whether intersex was a disease or not, the fact was that not many people were troubled by this issue. Such genetic mutations were extremely rare, with chances akin to hitting five gold bars in ten tries; many people might never meet one in their lives. Moreover, this condition mostly troubled families and individuals rather than being a societal issue like cancer.

“But soon, some people joined the initiative, they were… individuals with gender dysphoria.”

“What is that?”

At this point, Duanmu Huai also did not understand.

“Simply put, they are people whose physical bodies don’t match their psychological gender, they might be physically male, but psychologically female…”

“Uh… like that perverted transvestite?”

Duanmu Huai pointed to the Great President who had been plastered on the ground by him, and the old man nodded.

“Yes, because gender dysphoria is not as easy to diagnose and determine medically as intersex conditions, it caused a great deal of controversy. But in the end, people believed that as a free world, a free country, we should allow individuals the freedom to choose their gender. And after changing her political stance, that candidate was elected Great President with a high margin.”

“But doesn’t this cause problems?”

Anya voiced her doubts with uncertainty.

“I don’t want to see a man entering a women’s bathroom or room, regardless of whether he considers himself a woman or not.”

“Me neither…”

Mary silently nodded, especially those who already appeared quite deviant; she wanted them to stay far away from her.

“At first, many people raised this issue, claiming that men who believe themselves to be female should not be allowed to enter women’s facilities. But by that time, the one who proposed the bill had already become the Great President. She used every means to suppress these voices, and those who expressed opposition were branded with ‘gender discrimination’ and ‘ideological dictatorship.’ The Great President even enacted laws requiring companies and government departments to employ a certain quota of gender dysphoria and intersex individuals, to ensure our freedoms were not distorted. They even demanded that government employees lead by example!”
