Comment on Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy

But that’s obviously the people trying to redefine sex to not be using the gametes.

Look y’all I know nothing about biology but I’ve heard enough definitions of sex to know that there isn’t a clear consensus on one, binary or not. I do know that if you want to wellactually a binary definition into this you might be part of the problem. (Unless, that is, it’s interesting enough and you phrase it differently idk.)

It’s not binary. Anyone not accepting this needs to stop talking about biology because it is clearly not rheir field

  That’s demonstrating the variation within the sex binary. You’re confusing how sex is determined with how sex is defined.

    If, as you falsely claim, sex is determined by rather than defined by chromosomes, then by your own logic, you should find it very easy indeed to draw a line down that pictogram showing which side is male and which is female without crossing any of the other lines. I’ll wait.

    There isn’t any “detangling” like you’re thinking, because you misunderstand the chart. For example, multiple conditions can lead to infertility. That doesn’t mean the conditions can’t be distinguished from each other, that just means the chart is kind of confusing.
    
    At any rate, these conditions have a clear sex. For example, “Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is a chromosome anomaly where a male has an extra X chromosome”. The term mixed gonadal dysgenesis isn’t very specific, but sex can still be determined in each case, e.g. Turner syndrome.
    
    Are there any examples from the chart you think disprove the sex binary?

Consider some of those people are trying to do that for rational reasons and check the article as an example of such reasons.

  I think I agree with you and my irony just got lost. But again, I don’t know enough to be sure n
