spectrum

Beginning with sex, the spectrum of hormonal, anatomical, and genetic traits that often get reduced to two boxes: “male” or “female.”

And the same is true for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, or any other mental state.

As we saw in that skin color spectrum, the environment where your ancestors originated does have some influence on the traits you inherit.

In other words, that there's actually a broader spectrum of political participation.

On the other end of the spectrum is a game like Minecraft, like vanilla Minecraft, where you'll find it's very divisive amongst gamers who love Minecraft or hate it.

All mental states exist on a spectrum.
