Let’s consider a thought experiment:

Imagine that one day you wake up in a body of the opposite sex. Would you still identify with your original gender, or would you align with the gender typically associated with your new body?

**Option A: You identify with your original gender.** This implies that gender is not strictly tied to biological sex, since your sense of self remains independent of the physical body.
**Option B: You identify with the gender associated with your new body.** This suggests that gender identity can shift based on bodily experience, which aligns with the idea of gender fluidity.

Now, if someone rejects this analogy by arguing that it is unscientific or irrelevant, consider this: **intersex individuals exist**—people who are born with both male and female biological traits. This shows that nature itself does not always rigidly separate people into one of two binary categories.

Thus, the analogy is not only logically sound but also grounded in real-world biological and social phenomena.
