Case in point. Read actual scientific papers on this. It's only XX and XY right? Except for XXX, XYY, and numerous other variations.

We have people with both sets of genitalia, we have people with neither, we have people where one set is 'internal' and not visible. We even have people that develop the other set later in life.

Not at all a binary.

Those are genetic defects. Those are not different sexes. We have two sexes. Period.

"These differences don't count" is anti scientific bullshit. Actually go and read about this. I'm begging you to not take this one dipshit's word for it.

They are defects, not viable sexes. It’s how I was taught biology and how biology is still being taught. Fringe lunatics claiming otherwise doesn’t change the standard opinion on the topic. We are a binary species when it comes to sex. Trying to say a defect is a new sex is stupidity that is mind blowing.

So intersex people don't exist?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They do. It’s a genetic defect. It’s not a new sex.

It is. You’re free to believe otherwise but it’s binary.

That’s a birth defect. It isn’t a new sex

Not it’s binary. Male or female

What size gametes do they produce? Intersex people are not a monolith, nor do they have anything to do with transgenderism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

None of that is how sex is defined, and that's the entire point of this article. Sex is defined by the size of gametes you produce, and that is binary and immutable.

It's not though. It really really isn't. The existence of even one intersex person means what you're saying is nonsense.

Read the article. The author has a PhD in evolutionary biology and knows more than you.

The “sex binary” does not entail that every human is unambiguously either male or female, even though the vast majority are.

He wrote another article where he cites that you are 100% wrong and this definition has been used since the 19th century: https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/citations-for-the-gamete-based-definition

He also wants to be on Tucker Carlson and Rogan so he's willing to lie about shit. This guy doesn't represent the scientific consensus. Just a turd trying to cash a paycheck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Here's the great thing about science: Is he wrong? If you can't cite or explain how he's wrong, hurling insults doesn't do shit.

He very much represents the scientific consensus, as explained by the link I just gave you that you clearly didn't read.

Genetic defects don’t create a new sex. It’s weird how this ideology is being pushed but biologist are pushing back. We can say sex and gender are different but we can’t argue there are 50 sexes. That just isn’t true. There are two with defects from either
