Does anyone here know how to counter these people saying sex is not binary because of hermaphrodites and intersex, that binary sexes are "flawed human made taxonomies" and that "you can't see someone's chromosomes and genitals so sex does not matter"?

There are only two types of gametes. Post reproductive age humans are not a different sex.

99.8% of humans are meet the standard chromosome and gonad/genital set up.

The intersex conditions are almost universally infertile... Meaning they are not a special new sex (as these would have some kind of reproductive role) they are developmental abnormalities. Same as having six fingers or a congenital heart defect.

It's also not a spectrum any more than the number of fingers humans have is. Only 1/5000 has any kind of physical deviation from the norm.

    As I said earlier, define man and woman for me, give me your definitions of man and woman that do not exclude infertile humans and intersex humans that do not, and I repeat, do NOT, rely on stereotypes and misogyny such as "this man is wearing wigs/dresses/high heels/etc and so he's a woman" (implying that all women wear are such things eventhough clearly that's not true, your definition would be excluding women who simply do not ever wear and/or hate wearing dresses/wigs/high heels/make up such as myself) and nonsensical "gender identity". You're going to say "anyone identifying as a man is a man" or "anyone identifying as a woman is a woman", so let's say I identify as YOU. I am you now and I want full access to your house, credit card, etc. If you do not accept the belief that someone identifying as you is you, then we shall not accept your belief that someone identifying as a man or a woman makes them a man or a woman.

    Note: If you ever say "there is no such a thing as a man or a woman" then that means there is no such a thing as a "trans woman" or a "trans man" because they would be "transitioning to something that doesn't even exist", you would be debunking your own pro-trans agenda.
