I agree in the vast majority of individuals sex is clear cut and unambiguous. It’s also clear that humans are sexually dimorphic.

However that doesn’t mean that ambiguity in sex doesn’t exist, and that sexual ambiguous in individuals is impossible. Sexual ambiguity isn’t common, but equally it doesn’t represent an aberration or break some natural law.

So I take issue with the idea that determining sex is universally trivial, and those that dismiss real cases of sexual ambiguity as political correctness gone wrong. Its just that sometimes people are born who don’t fit neatly into commonly held categories, it doesn’t make them special, it just means they’re unique on axis that most people aren’t. Most of the time that nothing more than an interesting observation, but sometimes these people need help to understand how they fit in a world that culturally assumes they don’t exist.

The comment you are replying to never said it does.

the comment you are replying to never said this.

The comment you are replying to doesn’t dispute this.

It’s not clear how what you have written relates to the comment you are replying to.

I’m clarifying my position. Take it as you wish.

Doesn’t seem to have worked as a clarification since it isn’t a reply to what was written.
