  • I feel like were straying back into “sex and gender are the same thing” territory which seems reductive to me.

    Not sure why we would focus on algae when we’re clearly only talking about humans.

    I get that intersex/other genetic disorders exist. But I still don’t get how that breaks the rule instead of proving it. The rule is that humans have two arms and two legs. Just because there’s one armed people doesn’t mean that rule is broken. It means they’re an exception to that rule.



  • So the other stuff is clearly wrong and gross, but I’m confused by the “only two sexes” comment. Gender being a spectrum makes sense but I always thought we all pretty much agreed that biological sex was a binary function in humans. Sure there are genetic disorders that create exceptions, but aren’t those exceptions that prove the rule instead of break it?

    This is a genuine question. I’m a computer guy not a biology guy.
