Well actually, while the binary choice is almost the norm in US, it quite often happens everywhere else in the world on all levels of governance.
To your second point: the apathy you are feeling is normal when staring into a big machinery of a huge party systems in such a huge country. Lobbyists are strong, but defeatist attitude is the only reason they have the strength they do. Big changes can happen when participation is high.
In normal circumstances I would agree with you about applying pressure during the elections. But in the current situation when the candidates are so far apart on the subject, but so very close in the polls, I don't see logic in undermining the chances of the only candidate who might be considering a change of politics.
Although a protest here and there isn't a big issue.
It is a binary choice when it is a binary choice. If you don't want a binary choice, then first fight to change the system. Without that, you have a binary choice.

It seems from what I read that she has this syndrome when a male doesn't develop all male features but female ones. That's why she would have high testosterone and could have other masculine features.
Sucks, but absolutely something that should be addressed and already is addressed. Only that it is addressed differently in different leagues.
I think that in case of imame, no competitors issued any complaints before the Olympics even when asked directly, so she should be able to compete.
