Look up 'complete androgen insensitivity syndrome'.

The ultra-rare genetic defect of true genital hermaphroditism does not negate the fact that homo sapien is a binary-sex species. The statistic is thrown around a lot that intersex conditions are as common as redheads....but that's only true if you include the 99.9% of people who still have fully functional sexed genitalia and secondary sex characteristics, just have some minor differenced hormone sensitivity. So in other words, it's bullshit.

That is not the only way sexual phenotypes become more androgynous. And you can't point to the rarity of the condition while ignoring the rarity of trans.

Listen, I'm pro-trans in the sense that I support every single human being's unalienable right to be free from violence, from religious or political persecution, from discriminatory hiring practices or barring from education, public services, etc. You know, rights. I do not see it as their right to have 99% of the population cater to their mental illness by pretending that a transwoman is literally, in every meaningful sense, a woman. Sports are divided along dimorphic sexual lines FOR A REASON. And the trans activists have glommed on to people with genetic hormone disorders to argue that 'well because Caster Semenya's case is genuinely complicated, all the rest of us should get to compete in women's sports too!". Fuck off. Also I believe Caster Semenya was banned from several female track competition events.

I thought you were talking about trans people lol. How did we arrive at homophobia? Nevermind. I know there's no changing your mind.

Please don't repeatedly drag the quality of discussion downward with ad hominems, thank you. https://saidit.net/static/PyramidDebate.jpg
