intersex conditions make sex a spectrum or social construct

For this one I always just ask them if humans are NOT bipeds since some people are born with only one leg? Using a rare birth defect to try to prove that sex is complicated is about as stupid as it gets. Every human alive today came from the union of one male and one female.

Using a rare birth defect

With which people are still male or female too.

Yes I know, I'm not the one who seems to have difficulty with male or female, lmao.

Absolutely. Not only that, but phrases such as "you don't have a leg to stand on" or "arms wide open" aren't something we as a society need to eradicate from our language so people who are missing limbs aren't marginalized. They're figures of speech that apply to the vast majority of the population.
