Stop being silly because you’re pissy about being wrong. Another quote from the same Phd Evolutionary Biology as above:
contemporary scientific debates have long moved on from questioning whether the sex binary is a fact to questions about how anisogamy evolved, why it persists, and what its evolutionary consequences are.

Anisogomy is by definition binary but we were talking about biological sexes which includes plant and fungi models of sex which are absolutely not binaries and are more complicated.

You’re confusing sex with mating types. But thank you for finally acknowledging that anisogamy is by definition binary.

I did acknowledge it in every post. I said biological sex has two models and one is not a binary model.

I think you’re confusing sex with mating types again, but as long as we can agree for anisogamy
