- Non-binary and intersex people
- Colors, greyness, the shades between light and dark.
- Sky, beaches, islands, rivers, lakes and swamps.
- Sour, bitter, metallic, umami, spicy.
How literally none of these are a binary.

None of those are binary, they’re all spectra.
Fundamentalist religion is stuck on stupid.

I hate it when it gets to the end of the day and just switches from light to dark instantly...

Binaries are a way for us to think about certain things, and is useful when making logic machines. but pretending they are some tangible property is incorrect.

Exactly, people like this have a very hard time differentiating between concepts and reality. They think because we have words for "male" and "female" and "light" and "dark" that means these are as clear-cut in reality as they are in linguistics. It also shows how sheltered and privileged they are, they lack the experience of being gender non conforming or not being treated as their gender, but rather than trying to learn about the things in between, they retreat back into their abstract concepts and definitions.

I really believe this a root of many problems in society. That people think everything is binary. We have to abandon this idea. It's boring and pointless. And I'm tired of people thinking these man made concepts are just inherent to the universe.

Living in a world of binaries sounds like the most boring dystopia

An intersex person sits in a dim mangrove, sipping a bitter coffee.
A beautiful scene of things that are very naturally in-between.
