there is male, female, and "other" and anyone who complains about being part of the "other" is just showing their xenophobia. nothing inherently wrong with being ***different***
sex isn't binary, but it sure as fuck is bimodal.

some people are 46XY but have androgen insensitivity (meaning they're physiologically female) or have a knockout version of some gene involved in masculinization. even if they have a functional copy of SRY, there can be breaks in signalling that result in a mix of male and female characteristics.
why are all the people claiming there's only MALE or FEMALE so ignorant of how sex determination works in mammals?

reminder: for purposes of biology, the definition of "male" is "produces comparatively many comparatively small gametes" and the definition of "female" is "produces comparatively few comparatively large gametes"
