Comment on Denying the Human Sex Binary Turns Biology into Nonsense

communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

Sex is binary. It’s taught in biology in binary.

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.

Trust science.

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.

Sex is a classification for reproduction and not feelings.

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.

  Sex is about reproduction. There are only two sexes. 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.
  
  I’m defending facts.
  
  You’re not, I just gave you contradictory facts, you’re defending your opinion.
  
  We don’t need stupid children. Not understand the classification.
  
  There’s literally nobody who doesn’t understand or is confused by this.
  
  Two is all you need for humans. Period.
  
  Except in intersex cases where there’s at least 3 and arguably 4 if you want to include producing neither gametes.

    I don’t care what discovery magazine says. It’s wrong. This is my field of expertise. There are two sexes. Period. Intersex is not another sex category as much as your want it to be. It’s a defect. Plain and simple. I’ve explained this to you before and this the last time im explaining it. There are only two sexes in human biology. This isn’t a debate. This is how it’s taught and it’s taught this way for a reason.

    I don’t care what discovery magazine says. It’s wrong.
    
    On what basis? Is that a fact or your opinion?
    
    Here’s the original source: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S1087184599911295?via=ihu…
    
    This is my field of expertise.
    
    Herpetology is my field, do you specifically study reproduction?
    
    Intersex is not another sex category as much as your want it to be.
    
    Why not?
    
    It’s a defect. Plain and simple.
    
    You couldn’t explain why it’s a defect. This is just your opinion.
    
    There are only two sexes in human biology. This isn’t a debate.
    
    Except for the thing you call a defect unjustifiably.
    
    This isn’t a debate. This is how it’s taught and it’s taught this way for a reason.
    
    Except it isn’t taught that way at higher levels, because things are often more complex than they are at the simple levels, for the same reason species is taught as things that can’t interbreed at the lower levels.
    
    Do you know the definition of a species?
