    So uh, I want to put this in perspective.

    What you said is like if you just took an algebra 1A class in high school and said there are no curved lines because you’ve only done linear equations.

    Just because your introduction into an extremely broad subject matter did not go into other details to not mean they do not exist. Especially in science, holy hell do we dumb down SO much in science to teach it.

    But please, don’t be discouraged, people are wrong all the time, it’s cool. Just learn from it.

      Just to be clear, I never said that intersex people don’t exist. My perspective is that intersex people are a combination of male and female. Gonads vs ovaries. Xx vs xy chromizones. Male vs female biological anatomy (boobs vs penis etc). It’s a binary system with some mixing in between.

      Not intended to be offensive.

      Analogy: RGB is based on 3 primary colors. I am not saying that teal doesn’t exist.

      Get it?

        Lmao. You realize the rainbow is a SPECTRUM, right? If I show you a rainbow, can you draw the line where green stops and teal begins?

        Okay so… binary means just zeroes and ones. Not that the number system starts at zero and ends at one and includes every real number in between. That’s a spectrum.
