@jason_pontin @justinleitgeb so what do you want people to say when they mean "a set of two options with no in-between states permitted"?
@justinleitgeb how does that work in a phrase like "the gender binary", as i vaguely believe @jason_pontin to be intending to reference?

@chaosprime@jason_pontin binary isn't a problem at all as it's used in gender studies. Math doesn't have a monopoly on inventing words. :) -
@justinleitgeb so if it's not that kind of "humanities degrees" topic, do we know at all what usage@jason_pontin is actually objecting to? - 2 more replies

@chaosprime@jason_pontin but you could say, e.g., that the socially constructed *discrete* categories of gender needs to be deconstructed.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
