"GC: What are your counter-arguments to these TRAs saying sex is not binary because of hermaphrodites and intersex"

Intersex people are considered part of the binary. It is incorrect and insulting to them to say they are not part of the binary of sex just because they have physical disorders.

"that binary sexes are "flawed human made taxonomies"

I mean everything that is part of language is technically "human-made" but words for sexes still describe the observable fact of sexual dimorphism. I've never heard any TRA actually prove sexual dimorphism wrong. Just because they don't like that dimorphic sex is an observable fact doesn't make it "flawed".

"you can't see someone's chromosomes and genitals so sex does not matter" and that "you can't see someone's chromosomes and genitals so sex does not matter"

This one is extremely silly. You can't "see" someone's cells or genes (at least with the naked eye) either but they are still extremely important in making us what we are.
