Those who believe that biological sex is binary are ill-informed and ignorant of an overwhelming body of clinical research that proves it is an outdated and outright false belief.https://massivesci.com/articles/sex-gender-intersex-transgender-identity-discrimination-title-ix/ …

Yes. In bio, sex is descriptive of the complementary role of gametes, and there are two of them. Intersex phenotypes — the most common being micropenises, enlarged clitorises, etc. — are another issue. As I understand it, no known human has ever produced gametes for both sexes.
And yup, it's fine to describe phenotype wrt intersex as a "spectrum," but there's a bit of sleight of hand going on if you then assume more than two sexes. There's a reason "male" or "female" characteristics, "masculinizing" vs. "feminizing" hormones, etc. remain useful concepts

100%. To add to that, it’s not too unfair to describe a spectrum with 99.9% of the instantiations concentrated at one far end or the other as binary.
