> In humans there are two sexes.

You claim to be a doctor (again, of what?). Have you even heard the word intersex before?

I have taught sex ed over the past ten years. The curriculum (which we are forbidden to alter) embraces ideas of many dimensions to sex, but I found that there is not one empirical scientist in their list of authors, reviewers, or source material. The definition of “evidence-based” is that a lesson. has been tested in a classroom. (In other words, kids learned it.)

Intersex is a concept that bears looking into. We’re taught that it is as much as 0.4% of population, which is arrived at through removing context multiple times. Nowadays it is used to argue that there is a spectrum, not a sex binary, but this was not its meaning empirically. (Same thing with “sex assigned at birth”). You’re getting down to some very rare “differences of sexual development” (example: Y chromosome not getting expressed) whereas intersex individuals empirically belong to one or the other genotype. And the majority do not identify as “non binary” and don’t want to be used as examples.

I’m sure I’ll be debated, one comment can’t carry all the proof, but read some sports medicine papers on sex differences, that area has the facts.

I am neurologist. There is a spectrum between but the result situation is either a disease, infertile, unsustainable long term or... made up for hype. If you can point a person that has distinct characteristics and not a mix/overlap, then I admin there is a third sex.
The only forms of matter are gases, liquids, and solids.

Anyone speaking about “plasmas” and “Bose-Eisenstein condensates” is just spewing woke horse shit they must have learned in a liberal indoctrination center(universities )

Sarcasm aside, a lot of people seem to act like no new information can be discovered by humanity beyond what was taught to them as a child in k-12

More to the point: when it does you no harm to address someone in the manner they would like, and it does them some good, then why not do so?
It's debatable that this causes no harm. Plenty of examples in recent years that it does.
Those examples being? (I'm not in the States, so maybe I don't have your "common knowledge")
(this may be related to my obs that the high left can only romanticise^W glamourise^W aestheticise^W "semi-stabilise" the injustice ("a thing to a people") giving the low ample room to troll them -- & get the mid to switch

(In the other direction, it was easy for Bob to troll Ayn and get VC wannabes to take a course on^W^W^W^W melt their own alloys?))

>Just because I practice Foxwork and channel an entity which might be a different gender than myself means I need to endorse the self-described 'egg-hatcher' who persuaded a neurodivergent friend of my son to go down a path that hasn't solved his [2] real problems but has added more problems.

(That was before "Human-VLLM" was even in the air so this could well be another "a thing to a people")

Modding golden rule to address the havers (not only the doers) could be left to others.. but

  未经他人苦,莫劝他人善
is a drop-in for

  אל תדין את חברך עד שתגיע למקומו
(no contrived symmetries; for MAGA studies too)
I saw some deer and fox tracks this very morning!

Still not sure what we're talking about here, because I have no idea what an egg-hatcher may be (and all I get from searches are normal incubators)

Anyway, note that I used "when" in the ancestor statement. Can we at least agree on that part? Maybe more explicitly as "in the cases when it does you no harm... , and ..."?

(if we wish to discuss how relatively often that is or should be, I think I'll need more specific details)

PS. wow, and that's early Noon, too; not as dark as late Noon if rumours be true...
