Biology and development are complicated and human beings are very diverse. We need to think and communicate using simplifying concepts. If binary is oversimplified then biological sex is at the very least strongly bimodal. Heterosexual accurately etc captures this reality.

(also, that condition isn't intersex). and besides that particular birth 'defect', there are further cases where XX chromosomes don't line up with organisms.
Right, but I don't think that means we would describe sex as a 'spectrum' - rather than a binary i. e. Spectrum is continuous variation along a scale between two extremes (like height)

Infertile men are not on a spectrum somewhere between being men & women though (& vice versa). I don't think the fact of infertility, intersex conditions or other birth 'defects' mean that ppl who say they are gay, lesbian, straight etc..have fallen for a falsehood
