The type of mental model that ignores 50% of the world's population due to having that same proportions of chromosomes not matching one's mental heuristic of what constitutes a human is what I'd say "fuck that" to, personally

Okay but you have to admit that this is not how things functioned through majority of human history.

The excessive focus on the nuclear family is itself a very recent trend that would otherwise be viewed as very odd by many if not most historical social organizing systems.

Given the diversity of social models which have emerged globally, I have no idea how you could possibly make that claim.

From a cursory google search, there does not seem to be anything close to a consensus that the nuclear family is the dominant way that humans have organized historically: https://www.anthropology-news.org/articles/the-persistent-my...

No, I think it's pretty much a biological fact there have been plenty of people without testicles for pretty much all of human history.
