Thanks. That point is coming through. It's when you go beyond that that I, at least, am having trouble figuring out exactly what you mean. I still, for example, haven't figured out what point you were trying to make about gender differences and biology.

It can be required in the public K-12 school system. Generally speaking, due process is required when the government, which includes public institutions like school systems and universities, seeks to deprive anyone of a liberty or property interest.

The thing is due process is not a monolithic, one size fits all thing. Whether due process is required can vary by situation and context, and can turn on what liberty or property is at stake (assuming one is). What process due process actually requires can also vary by situation and context.
