Comment on Denying the Human Sex Binary Turns Biology into Nonsense

  Obgyn have a chart they use to match. How they identify later with their gender is a different story. Gender and sex don’t always match and I’m less concerned with that debate since it’s a made up social construct. Biology is biology. There may be variances in sex but there are only two. It’s how we classify since it’s about reproduction.

    You did not address any of my questions or points, you just re-affirmed your belief without engaging with what I said.

    How do you define people who produce both gametes?

    How do you define people who produce neither?

      If we want to at there are three for intersex. I can agree but intersex groups find that offensive and bigoted. Intersex is just a birth defect. We have lots of birth defects that people like to call variations. I have a webbed toe. It doesn’t make me a new sex or species. It just a birth defect.

        It’s only a defect if it negatively impacts the individual. In this case, if the person is perfectly healthy, there’s a case to be made that it is simply variation, whether or not it is a defect is then a matter of opinion.
