Comment on Biological sex is neither binary nor a spectrum – a biologist explains how it’s multidimensional

The author is really reaching here.
Defines everything as male or female, then wants to argue that everyone is unique or something… this is pretty trivial stuff.
Where are they reaching? Please quote a line or paragraph that's "reaching" in your opinion.
none of this disputes the fact the vast majority of human beings are male or female biologically. and there a subset that are not.
What are you basing that on? Do you think that doctors registered the placement of the gonads, the breast size, the penis length, amount of androgens, testosterone and other hormones for the "vast majority of humans"?
reaching by calling it ‘multidimensional’ when the entire article is two dimentional classifications. that’s how.
placement of your gonads or breasts has nothing to do with how male or female you are. what are you talking about?
reaching by calling it 'multidimensional' when the entire article is two dimensional classifications. that's how. the headline is shit.
How are these two-dimensional?
placement of your gonads or breasts has nothing to do with how male or female you are. what are you talking about?
For example, someone who has a Y chromosome but complete androgen insensitivity – meaning their cells do not respond to androgens at all – develops testes hidden in their abdomen as well as typically female genitals.
Did you even read this far?
It seems like you didn't actually read the article or just chose to ignore everything that talked about multi-dimensionality.
those are all two dimensional spectra dude. one end male, one end female.
like, I understand the motivation to normalize intersex people by claiming everyone is intersex, but that’s not a useful in any way, it’s just trivializing things.
That’s how it works.

Sex, not gender.
And even then, the best kind of incorrect (technical :) ), as there is - was - exactly one person that is ideal example of homo sapiens male sex
