  People need to understand that there’s only men and women.

  When biologists claim that “sex is binary,” they mean something straightforward: there are only two sexes. […] Because there is no third gamete type, there are only two sexes that a person can be. Sex is therefore binary.

  Besides, our society is not currently experiencing a sudden dramatic surge in people stricken with ambiguous genitalia; we are experiencing a surge in people who are unambiguously one sex claiming to “identify” as the opposite sex, or neither sex.

  Other compositions than the typical XX and XY arrangement do not represent additional sexes beyond male and female, but instead represent chromosomal variation within each of the two sexes.

  Liberals need to snap back to reality and drop the gender religion crap that cost them the election. Sex is binary and immutable. Trans women are men. Surgery and hormones won’t change that.

    Go get a hobby instead of just trying to “um actually” people because you don’t like them being happy. I don’t care what your beliefs are, trans people aren’t hurting you so just let people be

      So men will stay out of women’s spaces then, right?

    Talking about the variations in XX and XY chromosomes and then pretending they don’t count as variations is pathetic. Humans are complex and this ‘scientist’ is pushing an agenda. Nothing more. Sex is not in any way a binary and you ‘trust the science’ chodes should actually read about science.

      Sex is binary. Always has been.

      Literally the quote I pasted above. Variations within a sex.

    You can say sex and gender are different. I’m fine with that but in science there are two sexes. For some reason people are trying to push it’s not that simple but it is. It’s always been that way. The media is just latching on to it but real biologist don’t buy into it.
