I saw a post get banned. Well I dont wanna be a taboo subject. The more we shut down conversations the more we are ostracized. We shouldnt be so dogmatic. A society where people are free to express unpopular opinions is the one we want to live in. Seriously folks.
Stomping your feet and pretending the exceptions dont exist doesn’t make them not exist.
Nothing in nature is ever absolutely so.
What exceptions exist?
I already listed a bunch. Here are the relevant comments.

I’m sure you can find some other examples if you do apply a proper skeptical review of your idea and search out arguments that disagree with you or examples that break your categorization.
I suggest starting with the relevant Wikipedia articles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_differentiation_in_humans
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_humans
Those aren’t exceptions. Castrated males, menopausal females, children, and anyone with complete infertility all have a clear sex.
Please read this link, as previously suggested

Those are variations within the sex binary. Not an exception. You’re confusing sex with phenotype and genotype.
Please apply a proper skeptical review of your idea. I’ve saved you the effort of searching. Here is more:

Dude, you are the one arguing the position that sex is merely gamete production.
My position is merely “it’s complicated and we need to leave space for edge cases.” (I am perfectly fine with male/female being separate yes/no questions or having the sex options be m/f/x)
Linking to a transphobic advocacy site just identifies you as either an embarassed transphobe or a sucker.
I’m relaying what the overwhelming consensus is in the field of biology.
No, you’re repeating a transphobic oversimplification of biology. And resorting to a bad argument from authority when the easy gaps in your simplifications are called out.
I’d ignore you at this point, but I have a macbre curiosity as to if you are yourself a transphobe or if you’re instead just a useful fool for transphobic activism.
Why do you think the truth is transphobic?
Oh, you’re transphobic yourself. Got it.
“Truth” is for religion, philosophy, and encouraging honesty in courtrooms. Neither science, medicine, nor langauge give two shits about truth, only utility.
(And systems of categorization between N states have substantially less utility than those that include N states plus “other”)
