Well yeah if you dismiss the part that makes sex bimodal instead of binary sex is indeed binary lol. Did you read the paper? They pretty clearly describe the limitations in thinking of sex in a dichotomy. Again, it is biologists telling us sex is bimodal. Not sure why you think otherwise.
You quoted exactly what I said.
No. Sex is binary, barring genetic aberrations.
yes
Your paper supported what I just told you lol. Sex is binary, unless there is a genetic aberration.
But that's not a binary. A binary is 0|1, not 0|1 but sometimes 2.
It quite literally and demonstrably is
there are 2 sexes in the human species. Genetic aberrations do not change this. I'm sorry.
Your Doctor.
It's your thread, feel free to jump in, but realize that not every comment is directed to you. I was responding to a post that started 'The sex of an individual human refers to one of two—and only two—...'
No I reworded to ensure comprehension. But otherwise fair enough. I'm not trying to argue your position per se here, just ensure I understand it. Thank you for a clear answer.
And the doctor is using what criteria to make that determination?
No problem.
Chromosomes determine your sex. If your genitals do not match your chromosomes, that is a genetic aberration.
Biological sex is only part of the equation of human sexuality. You cannot have biological sex and not have gender identity, even if 99.9% of people are CIS where their biological sex and psychological gender identity are aligned, unless you plan to deny that psychological gender identity does not exist.
Intersex people exist at a higher rate than transgender/non binary people. Human sexuality is far from being as binary are you seem to want to believe it is.
Sorry, wasn't clear. I caught that you are holding to chromosomes for any other aberration. I was asking for aberrations in the chromosomes themselves, such as XXY and XYY, which you said then defaulted to a different factor, and I was verifying whether you said genitalia or if that was another person here.
Neuter will a null effect comes to mind as a possibility, but I'm not claiming it as such. Just noting the possibility.
It would seem to me that XXY would be the female with a Y, while XYY would be male, on the assumption that even the aberrations also fall under male and female
I mean in the case of true hermaphrodites in some rare cases, both roles. There are a few people that have been observed that could theoretically impregnate themselves. Of course that is incredibly rare. Most intersex people simply don't neatly fit into one of the two categories. Many are infertile.
That doesn't mean they don't exist. I myself have met some.
I stated that intersex people exist. That is likely an act of human evolution. We do not know for certain why.
Sex is not an identity. It's a biological classification. And it is binary.
No, that is what biology looks like
No there isn't. There are only 2 sexes in the human, and indeed almost every other species on the planet. And that is male or female. All of which is determined by chromosomes. Anything that is outside of this, is a genetic aberration.
Methinks thou dost protest too much.
