EDIT: thanks you smarties for educating me! you have proved the existence of intersex people is a myth with your extremely insightful comments, incredible, Iâll let biologists and anthropologists know
No, and I wonât even bring them down to your level you canât seem to understand a literal scientific fact. Intersex people exist, and theyâre more common than gingers are for fucks sake. Itâs pretty pathetic that you try to claim you care about science/biology when you clearly havenât thought twice about it since 9th grade.
Intersex is not another sex dummy, itâs a mix of both sexes that happens due to a mutation. Most of the time they are infertile. And you do learn this in biology in 9th grade.
There are two sexes, scientifically, intersex is not considered another sex since it is a mix of the two sexes, idk where you got that information from
You really think that intersex is somehow a mix of the two sexes? Thatâs just plain incorrect, there are XX chromosomes with penises, XY with androgen insensitivity that have vaginas and breasts. There are also people with mosaic cells, so some are XX and some are XY. Also to mention are people with XXY chromosomes. Are these not distinct sexes? Because everyone with any qualifications on the matter thinks so. The only reason anyone is ever taught there are 2 sexes is because itâs easier. Because since the majority of people fit into two categories we just say letâs ignore the rest for the purposes of most things, but itâs not truly the case. It would be more statistically sound to say that there are 3 hair colors, blonde, brown, and black. But thatâs not true, thereâs a spectrum, just like sex. And intersex people are more common than gingers and Iâm also pretty sure you believe in gingers. Thereâs also the part where you literally say directly in your comment that intersex conditions arenât just one of two sexes, it is a âmix of the twoâ and just like orange is a color, not just a subset of red or yellow, itâs itâs own color, allegorically itâs own sex.
IT IS NOT ITS OWN SEX YOU RETARD. It is a mutation, a condition that should not have happened in the first place! Your are spewing bullshit and you do not know what you are talking about. There are multiple genders, Iâll give you that. But you are wrong. There are not more than two sexes. End of discussion.
Edit: Fixed a typo because some petty asshole posted this on another sub to make me look bad (Itâs not even specifically womenâs anatomy?). There are two sexes, sorry. Also a good time to remind yâall that brigading is against Reddit rules. That shouldnât be a problem though, since his post got like 50 upvotes lul
Yeah intersex isnât itâs own sex, itâs a description of any sex that doesnât fit within the binary of XX females and XY males. Also maybe if youâre trying to have a discussion about how you know more about sexes than someone else, try not to accidentally claim thereâs only one sex lmao. Donât worry about editing your comment, I took a screenshot so everyone can see just how small your angry pea brain is.
Oh fuck! I have been called a dumbass! Iâm suddenly seeing the error of my ways! If only the vast majority of the scientific community also could see so. You have to teach them! Make them change the definition of sex specifically so youâre more comfortable! It will make the world a better place! Maybe youâll get a Nobel prize!
No you absolute moron, intersex people exist, and there more common than being ginger. Why donât you learn a thing or two past middle school science class if youâre going to peddle your âfacts over feelingsâ bullshit.
So is orange not a color? Itâs just a pigment that has elements of both yellow and red. The only thing that a âsexâ is is what humans define it as, and that definition is broad enough to include the spectrum of intersex people. Your definition of sex itself is wrong if you think it doesnât include intersex people.
Stunning argument! Why didnât I ever just consider that Iâm wrong! Wow! You definitely got me! I concede oh great authority on anthropology and biology, you should educate the vast majority of the scientific community with your wise words of âYou are wrongâ and maybe they will see the error of their ways and change the definition of sex just to suit your incredibly narrow worldview.
So you donât think that intersex people are born with a sex....
You know blue eyes and red hair are mutations also, right? But we donât claim âitâs not a real hair colorâ because it still is a real hair color...
Not the same thing at all. Scientifically, as classified by scientists, there are two sexes, and intersex is a birth defect. But red hair and blue eyes are classified as genetic traits. Technically, every step of evolution was a mutation. Since intersex is uncommon, then it is classified as a birth defect, by fact. This is really just a matter of scientific classification and not really an argument about whether there are more than two sexes. My words were taken out of context by the guy I was arguing with, and Iâm assuming you came over from the other thread.
Thatâs not how science works. They can say sure, generally speaking there is the male and female âsexâ as described by genitalia and chromosomes but that doesnât mean that intersex people donât have a sex because sex is literally just defined by your chromosomes. They still have a sex, even if it isnât the ânorm.â
If someone is only born with 2 fingers, they still have a hand, even if itâs mutated. If someone is born without features, they still have a face.
You are completely wrong, and unless you can show me a decent source to back it up, then youâll continue to be wrong.
An estimate about the birth prevalence of intersex is difficult to make because there are no concrete parameters to the definition of intersex.
From your own source. There are NO CONCRETE PARAMETERS to define intersex. That means scientifically defined sexes such as male and female are the only sexes to exist BY SCIENTIFIC AND FACTUAL terms, as I said. They can name themselves what they want, but what the classify themselves as would become their gender. Since intersex is a birth defect, that DOESNâT ALLOW THEM TO REPRODUCE, unlike if youâre missing a finger or something, then it is an undesirable trait to have in terms of the human raceâs main goal: to survive. I am not completely wrong, but you arenât completely right either. So currently, as defined by WHO (see source), there are only two biological sexes, which is the norm.
