1.) Is sex merely 'assigned'at birth? Imagine an experiment, where little children are isolated on an island in same-age groups. They are monitored and kept safe for 35 years. Clarification for the stupid: this is just a thought experiment.

Three males walk into a female changing room; a "transwoman", a man in drag, and a man in ordinary men's clothing. How do you know which one is the most likely to be a predator?
