29% of those scientists should be fired on the spot.

There's forms of life that are sexless so I don't necessarily agree that "sex is a binary" if we are applying it to all life rather than just humans.

I don't really like binary word anyway because it implies an on off. Nor do I like the spectrum analogue because it isn't that either.

Sex is dimorphic

Is dimorphic just another way of saying binary?

I think it's subtly different. I guess you could say sex is boolian if you really want to mess with the non-binary types.
