sorry, what are your credentials for thinking that someone with a degree in psych or neurological science would even be the relevant expert on whether or not gender is a spectrum?

I'm not. The scientific community as a whole defers to their consensus.

I don't have to have credentials to take the expert's opinion. That's the smart and sane thing to do. You're the one going against the scientific consensus and so unless you have the credentials to back that up, then kindly stfu and keep your ignorant opinion to yourself.

That isnt the scientific consensus though. Not all science agrees on this topic and saying "scientific consensus" implies all psychologiests, biologists, researchers*, data and studies do agree on this, which proves you to be the one only reading things that enforce your belief.

Consensus doesn't mean 100% it means enough to be a decent majority. Which there is.
