How utterly ridiculous are democrats and the msm?

It's a scientific article. I understand why it offends you.
No it’s not. No scientist would say something so stupid. A woke activist would. Two men can spurt cum at each other for years and neither is getting pregnant. Ever. Every man on the planet could jack off in a pool and have Liea a Thomas swim laps for weeks and that moron may be happy but he’s never getting pregnant.
 
You can call the thing that causes sex ambiguity whatever you like but you either have to admit sex isnt binary or that what makes males males and females females is at times itself ambiguous.
no it doesn’t. The op-ed you posted was about a female that had vanishing twin syndrome where she absorbed her twin when in the womb

It wasn't just about that. It was long piece that detailed many different ways in which sex in ambiguous rather than binary, that read just the first couple of paragraphs.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

By the turn of the millennium, however, the idea of femaleness being a passive default option had been toppled by the discovery of genes that actively promote ovarian development and suppress the testicular programme—such as one called WNT4. XY individuals with extra copies of this gene can develop atypical genitals and gonads, and a rudimentary uterus and Fallopian tubes. In 2011, researchers showed that if another key ovarian gene, RSPO1, is not working normally, it causes XX people to develop an ovotestis—a gonad with areas of both ovarian and testicular development.

These discoveries have pointed to a complex process of sex determination, in which the identity of the gonad emerges from a contest between two opposing networks of gene activity. Changes in the activity or amounts of molecules (such as WNT4) in the networks can tip the balance towards or away from the sex seemingly spelled out by the chromosomes. “It has been, in a sense, a philosophical change in our way of looking at sex; that it's a balance,” says Eric Vilain, a clinician and the director of the Center for Gender-Based Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It's more of a systems-biology view of the world of sex.”......

The gonad is not the only source of diversity in sex. A number of DSDs are caused by changes in the machinery that responds to hormonal signals from the gonads and other glands. Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, or CAIS, for example, arises when a person's cells are deaf to male sex hormones, usually because the receptors that respond to the hormones are not working. People with CAIS have Y chromosomes and internal testes, but their external genitalia are female, and they develop as females at puberty.......

But beyond this, there could be even more variation. Since the 1990s, researchers have identified more than 25 genes involved in DSDs, and next-generation DNA sequencing in the past few years has uncovered a wide range of variations in these genes that have mild effects on individuals, rather than causing DSDs. “Biologically, it's a spectrum,” says Vilain.
A DSD called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), for example, causes the body to produce excessive amounts of male sex hormones; XX individuals with this condition are born with ambiguous genitalia (an enlarged clitoris and fused labia that resemble a scrotum). It is usually caused by a severe deficiency in an enzyme called 21-hydroxylase. But women carrying mutations that result in a milder deficiency develop a 'non-classical' form of CAH, which affects about 1 in 1,000 individuals; they may have male-like facial and body hair, irregular periods or fertility problems—or they might have no obvious symptoms at all. Another gene, NR5A1, is currently fascinating researchers because variations in it cause a wide range of effects, from underdeveloped gonads to mild hypospadias in men, and premature menopause in women.....

Studies of DSDs have shown that sex is no simple dichotomy. But things become even more complex when scientists zoom in to look at individual cells. The common assumption that every cell contains the same set of genes is untrue. Some people have mosaicism: they develop from a single fertilized egg but become a patchwork of cells with different genetic make-ups. This can happen when sex chromosomes are doled out unevenly between dividing cells during early embryonic development. For example, an embryo that starts off as XY can lose a Y chromosome from a subset of its cells. If most cells end up as XY, the result is a physically typical male, but if most cells are X, the result is a female with a condition called Turner's syndrome, which tends to result in restricted height and underdeveloped ovaries. This kind of mosaicism is rare, affecting about 1 in 15,000 people......
 
Nope.
There are only two genders.
Check your crotch.
That's all.
Deal with this reality.
Sure dumb dumb. So someone like Caster Semenya who has a vagina is a female even though she also has testes and XY chromosomes. I'm glad you bozos can finally admit someone with XY chromosomes can actually be a female. Good for you. 😄

Hermaphrodites are the biological exception.
Other than that, there are only two genders.
Male and female.
Have a nice day.

So other than the millions of people who are intersexed sex is binary. Kind of seems like you don't know what the definition of binary is.

Hermaphrodites aside, that's all there are.
Anyone who claims otherwise is experiencing a mental problem.
That's reality.
Why exactly are we moving the intersexed off to the side? Because their existence shits on your claim perhaps?
