Comment on Denying the Human Sex Binary Turns Biology into Nonsense
communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 4 weeks agoThe definition you’re pushing is incoherent garbage. If there’s actually a better definition, great. Yours isn’t it.
All definitions are incoherent garbage, is the problem, that’s why they’re trying to make new better ones.
My definition stands, sex is not binary, because of intersex people, even by that definition, that’s one of many possible definitions, how do you know you have the best one?
What do you think my definition is, and what are its flaws?
I’m not going to wade through a bunch of garbage. You couldn’t even be arsed to figure out that the author isn’t a serious academic and won’t stand behind her own work before citing it. Find real citations first. A shit poll isn’t a citation either
Okay, but they still stand.

Sex is binary. It’s taught in biology in binary. Trust science. Sex is a classification for reproduction and not feelings.

Yes, except for hermaphrodytes and when you get more into the weeds it kinda breaks down… like a lot of basic concepts in biology.
Species are taught as things that cannot interbreed, but you also will realize that falls apart along close analysis.
No. Science is all about skepticism, you don’t have to trust science, that’s the whole point! You make reproducible, repeatable predictions precisely so that you do not have to trust science. Science is not a faith.
You’re the one that seems to have feelings blocking your ability to process this.
Sex is a classification that needs improvement to accurately describe the totality of reproduction.

Sex is about reproduction. There are only two sexes. Period.
I’m defending facts. We don’t need stupid children. Not understand the classification. Two is all you need for humans. Period.

except when there aren’t like here: discovermagazine.com/…/why-this-fungus-has-over-2…
and when even by your own gametes definition intersex people produce both.
You’re not, I just gave you contradictory facts, you’re defending your opinion.
There’s literally nobody who doesn’t understand or is confused by this.
Except in intersex cases where there’s at least 3 and arguably 4 if you want to include producing neither gametes.
