Careful. The longer you stare down the looking glass at life, the more of a kaleidoscopic fractal it all becomes. Even “species” are loose, funny things.
In biology, a ring species is a connected series of neighbouring populations, each of which interbreeds with closely sited related populations, but for which there exist at least two end populations in the series which are too distantly related to interbreed, though there is a potential gene flow between linked neighbouring populations.
What’s interesting about sex being binary is that biology is really messy and hard, and it’s kind of amazing that we found such a universal definition.
Like I said, you’re confusing your shit politics with truth.
Being intersex is about as common as having red hair, and as plenty of people have told you, some people produce neither eggs nor sperm. Also some intersex people are born with both ovarian and testicular tissue. Intersex isn’t new, it isn’t unscientific, it’s been known about for millenia, and it doesn’t vanish out of existence because your idol trump wrote an executive order that denies scientific reality. Some state passed a law that said pi is 3, which is just as stupid as trump’s order and the crap you’re spouting in this thread.
You don’t even understand what the words determine and defined mean, or you’re deliberately misusing them and you told a biology major they were wrong because you believed trump over an undergraduate education.
lol, fuck trump. He’s a fascist shitstain. I know you want me to be someone you can hate like a right-winger, but that’s not how it works.
Intersex can be a confusing term, and it’s confused you. People can be born with a Disorder of sex development, but those are male and female DSDs, not just some vague 🤷 category.
(Also, the intersex as common as red hair thing is wrong. It’s based on a bad definition of intersex by someone that should’ve known better, and has pulled the “just a prank bro” response when called out on it)
Ah just fuck off. You don’t want to understand, you just want to repeat trump’s anti-trans incorrect and oversimplifying size of gametes definition all day and argue with anyone who disagrees with him.
Biology is the study of life, and even the definition of what constitutes “life” becomes very fuzzy when you look at it too closely. For every set of properties you can define that need to be met for something to be alive, there are edge cases and outliers in nature.

Exactly. Ring Species are a good example

So why’re you trying to put it into such a rigid framework if you agree it’s messy?
I’m doing nothing other than relaying how the field of biology uses the terms.
You’re also confusing biology being messy in general, vs finding one particular area where it isn’t
You’re confusing your shit politics with truth.
It does feel nice to throw around insults, but maybe a better use of your time would be to learn about why you’re wrong

Sure, are you aware of any outliers in this case?
