Real biologists pointing out the scientific consensus:
Anisogamy is the definition of sex
and
In animals and plants, binary sex is universally defined by gamete type, even though sexes vary in how they are developmentally determined and phenotypically identified across taxa.
and
the Tri-societies were wrong to speak in our names and claim that there is a scientific consensus without even conducting a survey of society members to see if such a consensus exists. Distorting reality to comply with ideology and using a misleading claim of consensus to give a veneer of scientific authority to your statement does more harm than just misrepresenting our views: it also weakens public trust in science, which has declined rapidly in the last few years.
I mean, fuck’s sake. There’s nothing to argue about here. There’s just the fact that this is the scientific consensus. Why does Lemmy want so very hard to be so very wrong?

If you aren't even literate enough to parse my reply why the fuck would I read your medium blog? I'm done.

That’s not my medium blog, that’s someone else’s link from elsewhere in this thread. Ironically, they posted it without realizing that it supports my point exactly.
If you’re unwilling to listen to real biologists tell you that what the scientific consensus is, then I don’t think you’re actually willing to change your mind. Which is fine, you can live your life however you want. Why bother pretending otherwise, though?

You’re just an angsty twat that got caught up trying to defend some extremely minor and inconsequential nuance. This has caused you to dig your heels in without even arguing correctly anymore. In a different portion you were arguing there were only 2 sizes of gametes. You were intending it to be 2 types. But now that you’ve said size you can’t bring yourself to admit you were wrong on something so pathetically inconsequential. Just admit where you said the wrong thing and shut up about the stupid minutia you keep crying about.

Sigh. There are two types of gametes (in anisogamous species), defined by their size. There can be types of sperm or eggs, but those aren’t different sexes, those are subtypes of the two gamete types/sizes.
You’re so wrapped up in trying to find a gotcha that you’ve lost yourself to blind rage. When you’re ready, the science will still be there, ready for you to discover it.
