Bearing (and a number of other critics) say we should only have two sex categories because there are only two sexual reproductive roles.

It is true that there are only two sexual reproductive roles (I don't know of any condition that causes humans to produce both sperm & eggs)

However when we say that someone is biologically male or female, we're generally describing a cluster of anatomical and physiological

characteristics (hormones, genitals, secondary sex chars), not just a role in reproduction.

So, when we use "sex" to refer to these clusters, it is incorrect to say there are only two discrete sexes, when many people exist in the

middle of the venn diagram. (e.g. male gentials but female hormones and breasts, XY chromosomes but vagina/uterus (Swyer syndrome)).

I don't understand why "your side" isn't satisfied with distinguishing sex as binary & gender as broader. That compromise is already big.
