not terribly hard to offer a different/balanced viewpoint. There absolutely is societal incentive in gender identity. Everybody knows about income equality amongst gender as women still earn a fraction of what men earn - often for the same position. Positions of power are also still disproportionately held by men. As such, an intersex/trans person does have significant societal incentive to identify and project a gender association of "man" versus "woman."
