      Yeah, and so are red-heads, Karen. In fact, red-heads are rarer than intersex people. Are red-heads not worthy of basic respect and dignity?

        I’ll add that anatomical variance is in the introduction chapter of any decent anatomy and physiology book.

      You’re kind of missing the point.

      Everyone knows there are more than 2 genders. It’s an easily falsifiable statement.

      It’s an incendiary statement designed to foment division.

        I’m making fun of them by pointing out how they’re wrong

        It’s an easily falsifiable statement.

        Yes

        It’s an incendiary statement designed to foment division.

        Yes

        Everyone knows there are more than 2 genders.

        Actually no, not everyone knows. You’d be surprised how people are ignorant to these matters (by choice, or repressive environment)

      There are as many genders as you can think of.

      There are two sexes (M/F), but they exist on a continuum rather than a binary.

      Also, why are we so obsessed with sex and gender? They want us to be distracted by this bullshit.

      Wake up and realise the Class Consciousness!

        except it’s not even a continuum it’s more like a fucking pick and mix bag

          Exactly, for example just look at real cases of people born intersex and try and plot out which of them are ‘more’ or ‘less’ male. [Human] sex isn’t binary and it isn’t an orderable continuum. It’s a complex result of reality and a simple binary model just isn’t realistic.
