Intersex people aren't a monolith. What size gametes each intersex person produces determines their sex. This is the biological definition and is not a spectrum. It is binary and immutable. Gender activists are trying to shove gender into inappropriate places.

If it doesn't matter, then it should be no big deal to drop all of the gender woo when speaking of sex, right?

From the opening sentence of the article:

In a new piece for Scientific American, Princeton anthropologist Dr. Agustín Fuentes argues that the binary of male and female is too simplistic to describe the complexity of human sex

Academia has become gripped by a new religious dogma that must not be questioned. They're trying to redefine the basic scientific terminology of sex in order to appease an unscientific political movement.

Some admins can't handle people not respecting their faith. Don't let the irrational beliefs of a few dictate your online experience.

Thank you for not personally trying to force your way into women's sports, but other men are:

Calling it "discrimination" isn't a direct call for legal action, but it is suggestive of it, and trying to use the courts to force one's way into places you don't belong and aren't wanted is immoral.

Saying "Trans woman are men" isn't an attack. It's a factual, neutral statement. Come up with new terms, and stop trying to create newspeak. Use "femme" and "masc", they've got popularity already and don't try to redefine language to allow men to invade women's spaces.

I'm not going to try and convince you of anything, but your response is a good summary of the problem. You started off by saying "trans people aren’t hurting you so just let people be", and now you're saying that men should be able to force their way into women's sports even if the women don't want them there.

Women deserve single-sex spaces.

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.

If women want gendered sports, you'll agree that men shouldn't be allowed into women's sports, even if they're trans women?

Biological sex is defined by the size of the gametes one does or would produce, and has always been defined that way scientifically. It is immutable and binary.

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

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
