      No really this is nonsense on stilts! Males and female populations overlap on lots of axes (shoe size for example). But shoe size is not how we identify the sexes.https://twitter.com/josh_t_dean/status/1045684301885575169 …

      Human beings (as with other primates and others) are massively bimodal on "number of penises" 😁pic.twitter.com/O7p1WDuKx8

      Yes there are some people with intersex conditions where some sexual characteristics overlap. But nothing like Mr Science vet's pink and blue hillocks. There are different conditions and people with them are still M or F (Thanks to @mrkhtake2 for education)pic.twitter.com/6n0ExZanQR

      The axes are supposed to represent an index of typically "female" sex traits (well the first one; the second is just an illustration of a histogram). Point is that "number of penises" is an arbitrary choice among a multitude of biological factors that cluster together.

      No it is really not arbitrary at all. Every person that ever lived developed from two gametes. One large, one small. The large one came from a person without a penis. A person with no penis gestate and gave birth . The small gamete came from a person with a penis.

      Not to beat a dead horse, but then is the definition about those who create sperm or those who have a penis? What about those with a penis but not sperm? My only point is that any binary categorization of sex depends on picking an arbitrary dividing line; just like most binaries

      As with females, an infertile man is *not* not a man/ part of a man/kinda female! There are two sexes. Everyone is one or the other. Not everyone's anatomy develops typically, but there are no "inbetweenies".
