Nah, I’m a woman. I expect to be called such. So humans, unlike every other species that reproduces, don’t have discrete sex groups? What is the third gamete? Do humans reproduce via sperm meeting egg or not?

Bearded women are still females, men with tits are still males. They don’t develop the potential to produce another gamete. You are straight up wrong about sex. You never respond to half of what’s asked you.

Nope because again sex isn’t based on gametes or else people who can’t produce gametes don’t have a sex. In every species sex is a spectrum. Also even you would admit not every species that reproduces has discrete sex groups.

Nope male and female don’t objectively exist. Also that’s because half the stuff you say is stuff I’ve already answered but you refuse to accept.

What is this tosh? Sex isn't "a spectrum in every species" as you state. No one is saying that discrete sex occurs in every known species that reproduces. We're saying it exists in species that reproduce sexually.

Nor is anyone saying that "people who can't produce gametes don't have a sex." Prior to puberty, neither male or female humans can produce or mature and release viable gametes. After menopause, female humans don't have viable gametes. Males with infertility or who've lost their testes can't produce viable gametes. None of this changes our sex - which is defined as developing in utero to have the capacity at some point in time to produce either ova or sperm.

You say

male and female don’t objectively exist.

Wonder what your mum and dad and grandparents would say about this.

Hundreds of millions of women now on earth who've been pregnant, had abortions and miscarriages, carried pregnancies to term given birth, breastfed no longer have viable gametes. Yet by your definition we/they are not women.
