You’re putting words in my mouth here. I’m not advocating for a strict binary of male or female.
I’m aware that intersex people and sex-related disorders occupy a spectrum between.
We ought to do better to educate people on those that lie in the spectrum - but that is entirely different to advocating for the idea that biological sex is a lie because it doesn’t fit your world view.
Even if you use the most generous estimate of those who exist in that spectrum, per the Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) Consortium, that number is still <2% of the population.
Modelling clinical outcomes based on categories that apply to >49/50 people is not wildly inaccurate as you seem to be claiming. Of course we should do Our best to ensure that those in spectrum are covered as well, but a “model” that covers 100% of people is just a list of everyone on Earth - which is not only a privacy nightmare, but also has zero predictive utility.
Yes, but those categories are all traits associated with either XX or XY chromosome development.
Having a penis is a Y-linked trait, having a womb is an X-linked trait.
That isn’t me trying to deny anyone’s chosen identity, but it is a biological fact that (with current technology) cannot be changed.
And that is true even for intersex individuals.
I’m not bothered to sit here and argue with someone who’s attitude is that of science denialism. If I wanted that I could go argue with a Flat Earther, so I’m going to let you have the last word on this one. Peace
