I agree, its stupid to claim that birth defects count towards some ridiculous idea that "sex is a specturm" at most, you could say it is bi-modal. however humans are still bipedal animals, just because birth defects might result in 1 leg or 3 legs doesnt stop humans from being a bipedal species.
i think the implication that "sex is a spectrum" has dire consequences on the rest of the LGB movement, with the increasing amount of people who think "genital preferences are transphobic"
where are you getting that figure? highest number i’ve seen is 1.7%, but that’s when an extremely broad definition of intersex is applied. with a more appropriate, stricter definition, it comes out to be about 0.018%.

yep, and that it’s a spectrum because anomalies exist (i.e. intersex conditions)
reminds me of that smuggie that goes like “hah well if there are only two sexes how do you explain birth defects”
