GC: Intersex conditions show that males can release eggs, get periods, get pregnant, etc, and females can produce sperm, have a penis, etc, which makes the words male and female meaningless?

That's enough. Stop asking us the same questions over and over again. Go back to previous threads and reread all our explanations and links that we gave you. If you are GC, then maybe try to debate with QT users here for a change, instead of asking us to debunk sex denialism for you.

You don't bother answering questions, that's why misinformation spreads at such a rapid pace. This is GC debates QT for fuck's sake. Not QT ask what GC wants you to ask. I'm not making you answer my questions, so the least you could do as a mod is not abuse your authority and let the post stay there in case someone willing to help me would answer my questions. But no, you removed it. Thank you for nothing.

This is a very unfair accusation. I've spent plenty of time in this sub explaining what sex is and why is binary and, in humans, immutable. I've even explained Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) to you before. However, you keep asking us the same questions that we already answered over and over again. Really, this must be at least the third time that you ask us about PMDS that I can remember. So, the real question is do you even bother reading our replies and all the links we post? Don’t you understand that most users are tired of these threads? Look, I’m quite mad because all this sex denialism, that is why I keep explaining this stuff. But there must be more constructive ways for you to deal with this.

So, about PMDS, here are some links explaining it in great detail:

In females, the uterus, the Fallopian tubes and the upper third of the vagina are derived from the Müllerian ducts. In males, these ducts regress by action of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which is secreted by the testes. Males with PMDS have Müllerian remnants because of mutations on the AMH or its receptor genes. They have otherwise a typical male reproductive system, though as result of their condition they may have cryptorchidism (undescended testes) or inguinal hernias. Infertility and risk of testicular or Müllerian malignancies are also common complications.

It appears there has been cases of males with this condition that present cyclic hematuria (i.e. blood in the urine), which may be explained by a hormonal imbalance (little androgens and excess of estrogens) leading to endometrial bleeding, and the presence of a fistula. However, that does NOT mean they can become pregnant. To be able to get pregnant, first of all, you need to have functional ovaries, which males with PMDS don’t have.
