They are what they are in spirit and mind.
being born with six fingers has nothing to do with the chromosomes that determine ones sex
intersex is a combination of sex chromosomes that contradicts the sex binary
it isn't just XX vs XY
thats isn't what intersex is
It could also be one less chromosome
regardless their existence contradicts the binary
a binary is composed of 2 mutually exhaustive and independent categories
the fact that there are more than 2 categories, means that sex isn't a binary
it doesn't matter that there isn't a "Z"
sex is determined by combinations of chromosomes
You're not making any sense
does biological functionality define our concept of sex?
You're making a value claim
that has nothing to do with the sex binary
I agree that humans would go exstinct if everyone was intersex, but that has nothing to do with my point
sex isn't an ideal state of affairs
its an existing state of affairs
as for functionality, intersex people can be fertile in some cases
it isn't subjective
sex refers to a combination of chromosomes
can they have both functional organs tho
it isn't tied to genitals
sex isn't defined by genitalia
you're changing your argument
yeah because you're clearly biased from some reason
yeah thats the point
Well I don't think any of the definitions result in a binary. If something is somewhere between a penis and vagina it isn't really either.
what would you classify it as?
a third sexual category, would be definition
seeing as it doesn't fit the binary
you're really dodging the issue with your definition
calling it a birth defect, or stating that their genitalia are dysfunctional has nothing to do with the implications on the sex binary
it isn't subjective
mine is the scientific definition
confirmed by the sources you provided
well thats a whole different issue
and again scientifically speaking, gender is distinct from sex
