When it started I would’ve never guessed that SBA would take this kind of turn. I’m a huge fan.

First off, good luck getting your happy memory. Second, yo I find EMDR to be like modern magic. It’s so unintuitive on it’s surface and so obviously more effective than just talk therapy. Why should tapping on my shoulders and thinking about things in a certain way rewire my brain so much faster??
It makes much more sense after looking into it, but wow. What a cool thing to have access to in our modern world.

FYI usually the quotes only go on the long middle name and don’t include the first and last name.

Why is clairvoyance always for useless stuff like stock prediction? Why can’t anyone do the important work of guessing the shape that’s on the card I’m holding??

I just want it to be light out when I wake up. But unfortunately it’s more likely to be light out when I go to bed.

That article seems to counter your above points about using secondary characteristics pretty directly.
As well:
However, the existence of such conditions does not undermine the binary nature of sex, because the sex binary does not entail that every individual can be unambiguously categorized as male or female.
The article counters the claim that everyone can be placed into the binary.
It seems that “sex is a binary” but we have to exclude folks that don’t fit into it. Looks like the meme we’re commenting on is still pretty applicable lol.
So now to me it looks like like sex is a binary nested in the larger binary of unambiguous and ambiguous sex. Giving folks 3 places they could end up, one of those places (ambiguous sex) being a spectrum.
It’s been fun taking the time to learn all of this. Thanks for all the links.

So it seems like there isn’t a universal test that can be used on everyone? Especially since there is a whole category (though extremely rare) of folks who are literally made by male and female fertilized eggs combing.
the body isn’t organized around producing no gametes.
After looking some case reports it looks like a lot of folks with ovesterticular disorder have both sets of genetalia and neither can produce gametes. These folks tend to choose a gender (usually the one they grew up as pre-puberty) and get hormone therapy and such to affirm it.
Since “sex is a binary” is a universal claim, it only takes one existential example to disprove it. I was pretty convinced by the case reports I read that the sex binary can’t include every person.
I’d be convinced if ya presented a definition that could be used on everyone.
But at this point I think we are splitting hairs. It seems obvious to me that there is a range of ways sex can exist in humans. At this point a definition for the binary would have to be pretty complex and people close to the boundary would likely be very similar despite getting opposite labels. It’d be like saying there is a binary of black and white and the line is at 127,127,127. I mean sure, but we both know we are just drawing a line in a spectrum.

So, just how you can’t say that a rock on an even platform has failed to fall, I don’t think you can say that an intersex individual has failed to produce gametes. Since neither had intention. Therefore I feel like your binary definition is extraphysical. Given that, I think you’d understand why I wouldn’t accept such a religious adjacent idea.

Fair, I guess I only looked back two weeks or so. Would you respond to my above comment that talks about Ovotesticular syndrome and variation in müllerian duct development?
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 8 months ago:
Damn that post history do paint a pretty consistent picture. Seems there is only one thing for powerstruggle to talk about lol. Same talking point too with the “organized around producing certain gametes.”
Thanks for pointing that out.
