Yeah. All those chromosomal differences, hormonal fluctuations, anatomical variations, AIS, brain-structure differences ... they're all just the devil deceiving us. After all, he did the same by seeding the earth with infernal dinosaur bones! (Yeah, believe it or not, I was arguing this very point with one of the friend I'm staying with's housemates the afternoon before last. Apparently he'll have the last laugh when we all die. Sigh.  ::) )

Why is there a finite number

Hehehehehe. Because we are children of the digital age! Wonders of a bounded world! Products of the singularity!

... actually, no other reason than that hairless monkeys make this stuff up as they go along. As I understand it, they got all the different conditions they've managed to identify as far as chromosomal, anatomical, mental (that would be us trans/andro/neutrois-folk), behavioural, ran it through the ol' permutation calculation, et voila! out pops a number. Not 42 though, sadly. ;)
