(warning: this is just for fun. read all the way to the end, and you might understand why.)
let's say the binary is very real, and we were actually supposed to explain the world and everything in it in very binary terms...
there is a man (l) and there is a woman (O). (it's kind of obvious why they're defined the way there are, don't you think?)
but then there is a person who has primary sex characteristics of one, and secondary of the other. and obvious lO.
and this person has personality traits of both (the way society sees it). even more lO.
of course, because of this, the person ends up defining themselves as a whole lot of both as well. add one more lO.
we here have a person who can be defined as:
lOlOlO
now try translating this into a decimal value?
