It read me more about being conflicted over being binarist vs non-binarist. You want to keep a man side and you want to gain a woman side. The belief that in order to gain/retain one you need to lose the other can be suspected. You might be forced to only have a single fat distribution but your traits don’t need to come from a single bucket. Having human as a “featherless biped” suggests that carving reality at the joints of “featherfull” and “biped” make sense
