      Potential role in procreation. If I add a new rat to my pet rats it's vital I know if it's male or female.

      the thing about this is that the usual social construction of biological sex is as the binary you use here, it's either male or female

      and if you take that as your lens you can go around seeing it all day, and exceptions are freaks for your titillation or disgust

      but if you don't privilege the lens for a minute it's very quickly clear that "male" and "female" are statistical neighborhoods

      and then you see how social construction isn't just descriptive, it's coercive, with millions of babies cut up or murdered to enforce it

      It doesn't have to be coercive. I can state that majority is either male or female *and* consider being intersex 100% okay.

      a little something more on why "male/female/intersex and intersex is a-okay" isn't really doing everybody as much service as we might hope:

      let's pretend that biological sex is a function of two variables (actually it's at least a couple dozen, but for the exercise)pic.twitter.com/VGA4PQtbMw

      Because language = categories. Categories = generalization. It's like saying "humans are bipedal", even if some have only one leg or none.

      sure. so it'd be nice if people recognized these categories are vague and nuanced tendencies, not ironclad delineations handed down by God.
