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.

However, no matter how sex is developmentally determined for an individual, their sex is always defined the same way—by the type of gamete they do or would produce.

The sex binary is based solely on the binary distinction between sperm and ova, a distinction the authors of this paper fully understand (whether or not they’d ever admit it) because of how they use the words male and female throughout the paper as something totally distinct from genes, hormones, and genitalia.

Lemmy doesn't want to admit that gender woo is an unscientific religion just like the faiths they readily scoff at.
