Talking about the variations in XX and XY chromosomes and then pretending they don’t count as variations is pathetic. Humans are complex and this ‘scientist’ is pushing an agenda. Nothing more. Sex is not in any way a binary and you ‘trust the science’ chodes should actually read about science.
Comment on Understanding the Sex Binary
tahira@hilariouschaos.com 5 days ago
When biologists claim that “sex is binary,” they mean something straightforward: there are only two sexes. […] Because there is no third gamete type, there are only two sexes that a person can be. Sex is therefore binary.
Besides, our society is not currently experiencing a sudden dramatic surge in people stricken with ambiguous genitalia; we are experiencing a surge in people who are unambiguously one sex claiming to “identify” as the opposite sex, or neither sex.
Other compositions than the typical XX and XY arrangement do not represent additional sexes beyond male and female, but instead represent chromosomal variation within each of the two sexes.
Liberals need to snap back to reality and drop the gender religion crap that cost them the election. Sex is binary and immutable. Trans women are men. Surgery and hormones won’t change that.

Sex is binary. Always has been.

Case in point. Read actual scientific papers on this. It’s only XX and XY right? Except for XXX, XYY, and numerous other variations.
We have people with both sets of genitalia, we have people with neither, we have people where one set is ‘internal’ and not visible. We even have people that develop the other set later in life.
Not at all a binary.

Those are genetic defects. Those are not different sexes. We have two sexes. Period.

None of that is how sex is defined, and that’s the entire point of this article. Sex is defined by the size of gametes you produce, and that is binary and immutable.

Literally the quote I pasted above. Variations within a sex.

You can say sex and gender are different. I’m fine with that but in science there are two sexes. For some reason people are trying to push it’s not that simple but it is. It’s always been that way. The media is just latching on to it but real biologist don’t buy into it.

hermaphrodite? What sex are they?

What sizes gametes do they produce?

Go get a hobby instead of just trying to “um actually” people because you don’t like them being happy. I don’t care what your beliefs are, trans people aren’t hurting you so just let people be

So men will stay out of women’s spaces then, right?

Gendered bathrooms are a stupid idea to begin with, no one wants to be in a big room with a bunch of other people going to the bathroom. I only ever use single person unisex bathrooms because they’re cleaner, they’re quieter, I feel safer, etc. I think most other trans people would do the same if they could. If trans people have no choice but to use a gendered restroom, it’s safer for everyone involved if they just go to the bathroom of their actual gender instead of their agab/sex/whatever word you want. But the long term solution that will make both cis and trans people happier is replacing all the stupid gendered bathrooms with private unisex bathrooms.

I loved a place that had urinals in one bathroom and private stalls in another. The wash area was for everyone.
All politics aside, it was just more efficient for everyone. It was faster as well.

Will men stay out of women’s sports?
