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.
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”)
The truth is that there is an observed binary in this case. N = 2. Gametic definition provides utility. That’s why it’s the only definition used in biology.
Do you want to learn? Would recommend.
So, are you a hateful troll because you’re transphobic, or are you transphobic because you’re a hateful troll?
There is no “utility” in demanding that intersex humans be categorized as either male or female. No actual medical researchers study “biology”, and actual science tells us that models where we treat human sex, gender, and sexuality as having only a coincidental correlation to reproductive cells are substantially more useful.
I mean, unless you’re a transphobic bigot scared that the kids you love might realize that they are trans and dump you the way all victims dump their abusers. I guess a transphobic model could have some utility in spreading transphobia. Not that it even passes the first requirement of parsimony, though, since you need to ignore all of those damn edge cases…
There is no demanding. Intersex is a confusing term. It has confused you. Please learn.

You’re confusing the scope of sex. The sex binary is fact. Sex is different from gender, is different from sexuality.
It doesn’t matter how many times you share the same transphobic oversimplification, it’s still a transphobic oversimplification.
Why is it transphobic? Why is it an oversimplification?
Why? You’d have to ask the authors why they put up a transphobic site. My guess is that they’re either personally hateful bigots or just amoral cowards who take money from the same.
As for how…
Go read the “about us” link on that advocacy page you keep pushing. Specifically the part about how “activists” are trying to confuse their “truth”.
The advocates they’re talking about are non-cis LGBTQIA+ folk whose dastardly agenda is “just let us be who we are.” I suspect that if you scratched down to their funding source you’d find some of the same people pushing bathroom bills and gender marker shenanigans on official documents.
For the Nth time, it’s an oversimplification because categorizing all humans based on which reproductive cells they make ignores or misgroups humans who either don’t produce any or who look and smell like they might produce the other ones than those they might once have produced.
So the link isn’t transphobic. Each chart has links to sources. Please learn.
Sorry, you’re confused. Nobody is ignored or misgrouped. Everyone has a sex. Some people don’t produce gametes. Their bodies still contain sexed structures.
Looks and smells aren’t how sex is defined. You’re confusing gender and sex. Please stop.
