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.
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.
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.
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.
