Given that a person knows how to assemble engines, the probability that that person is female should be approximately 1/2.I'm sorry but that's not how probability works. Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial
First you justify gender by saying it gives you an idea most of the time (and you acknowledge there are non-negligible exceptions), then you use the exact same argument against using racial pronouns/qualifiers/slurs.That's exactly my point. It makes sense to use gendered pronouns, but it doesn't make much sense to use racial pronouns. While the correlation between biological gender and daily life is strong, it's very hard to tell what a hair/skin color says about you.
And when the image doesn't fit your view of reality, shaming and homophobia. Nice.I'm afraid we don't share the same point of view.
You seem to hate them because they're threatening your gender binary worldview.
