Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring only two sexes, male and female, based on reproductive cells at conception, banning gender-affirming care, and limiting federal recognition of gender diversity.
Experts, including Dr. Richard Bribiescas, president of the Human Biology Association, criticized the policy as nonsensical, stating, “Clearly, this order is not fully informed by current biological science.”
Biologists noted the order oversimplifies human biology, ignores intersex individuals, and conflates sex and gender.
Critics warned it advances anti-trans rhetoric and risks legal challenges.
But it’s true there are only two
genderssexes. We are a dimorphic species with one side carrying large gametes and the other side carrying small gametes. There is nothing else. No othergendersex. Everything else is just made up or neuter.If you read through an article with multiple doctors saying something, and then your conclusion is to be confused and wonder how they could be wrong like that, I have news for you.
Also, you contradicted yourself pretty quickly. First you said there’s only two sexes, then you said there’s male, female and “neuter”. That’s three. Do you think that infertile people should be prevented from listing a sex on their drivers license? Should they get to pick one? What bathroom do you want them to use? What if they’re infertile and they have genitalia you didn’t expect? What if they’re infertile and they modified their genitals, which bathroom should they use?
Neuter is not a sex. It is a lack of sex.
Biological sex is commonly used to reference reproductive function. You have listed three reproductive functions. Ergo, three sexes by your reckoning because there are three states. “Male/female/null” is still three things.
C’mon. At least make your trolling fun. Pretending that three things is two is boring. Share some weird ideas about where people you would put in the third category should go to the bathroom.
I am not trolling I am trying to explain to you that no sex at all is not a sex. It is the lack of it. It is not a third sex. Say I have a full glass of water, then I have an empty glass of water. Not having a glass is not an empty glass and could be anything. It could be not having an apple and exactly the same thing. It is not a function of a glass.
Say you have a boolean. It can be true or false. If it doesn’t exist it is no longer a value of any kind. That is the null. The thing which doesn’t exist. It doesn’t mean the boolean has three options.
You’re not a very interesting troll. You keep going on about the same ”2=3" thing. If you have a nullable Boolean variable that variable can be in one of three states. If you have a cup holder, full cup/empty cup/no cup are three values.
Someone who wasn’t trolling would think to themselves that maybe Doctors know more about physiology than they do.
You still can’t think of a good answer for what bathroom this third sex should use can you? I think you should say we need to build a third standard restroom. Since, as you say, not having a glass is the same as not having an apple, this bathroom would be available to anyone who doesn’t have a sex, which is to say anyone who currently has something not in their possession.
Ooh, or maybe anyone not producing gametes can use either restroom? Or would it be that they can use anything as a restroom?
That’s a fun one. “Postmenopausal
womenpersons are legally allowed to pee anywhere because stopping gamete production makes you lose your sex”.Obviously you don’t understand the point. I’ll just leave you to it. Good luck with that.
You objectively suck at trolling. You’re just giving up on your stupid joke before you can even get anyone really riled up?
Your middle school biology courses were written so you’d have the foundation to be curious enough to learn more; and yet here you are, no more educated than a child that still statistically wets the bed during a nightmare.
I sincerely hope you continue educating yourself, you have sipped from a spring and declared you have drank all the oceans.
Throughout the entire animal Kingdom, there is only two sexes. We are not fungus.
Again showing you didn’t even make it to high school biology. Even in dimorphic species (which is so incredibly far from the only type in animalia) sex is never just binary. Chemistry is weird, chemistry in a highly chaotic system is even more weird. Dying on a hill made for children to stare at mountains is just pathetic.
Sperm and egg. What else is there. It’s not a spectrum of speg and erm or anything else but egg and sperm. Sex is about the ability to reproduce.
Even if we accepted that definition (again, biology is more complex than what you learned in grade school), menopause or orchiectomies would make people neuter, meaning we’re back to three sexes at least.
No. That’s just two sexes and a null.
Yes, 3 options for sex, ergo 3 sexes. A system isn’t binary if there are 3 potential valid values, you can call it null or whatever term you want but that’s still 3 valid sexes even under your definitions.
