Comment on Denying the Human Sex Binary Turns Biology into Nonsense
Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com 5 days agoIf 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.

It’s a defect because it’s a defect. We all have them. We just have become sensitive to saying it’s a defect or deviance. Since most is them we’ll be sterile and possibly ostracized from society, I’d say it has a negative impact for many. Just like any other medical condition, they shouid be treated with respect and dignity. They should also be allowed to decide their own medical treatment.

Circular logic.
This has nothing to do with my claim.
Defects specifically do not include social aspects, being ostracized does not make it medically a defect. Being sterile is also a defect, but just because you’re intersex doesn’t mean you’re sterile.
Almost none of your comment has anything to do with my claim.

Which claim? That there is an infinite number of sexes? That’s false and isn’t taught in any biology course
