Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

But it's true there are only two ~~genders~~sexes. We are a dimorphic species with one side carrying large gametes and the other side carrying small gametes. There is nothing else. No other ~~gender~~sex. Everything else is just made up or neuter.
If you read through an article with multiple doctors saying something, and then your conclusion is to be confused and wonder how they could be wrong like that, I have news for you.
Also, you contradicted yourself pretty quickly. First you said there's only two sexes, then you said there's male, female and "neuter". That's three. Do you think that infertile people should be prevented from listing a sex on their drivers license? Should they get to pick one? What bathroom do you want them to use? What if they're infertile and they have genitalia you didn't expect? What if they're infertile and they modified their genitals, which bathroom should they use?
Neuter is not a sex. It is a lack of sex.
Biological sex is commonly used to reference reproductive function. You have listed three reproductive functions. Ergo, three sexes by your reckoning because there are three states. "Male/female/null" is still three things.
C'mon. At least make your trolling fun. Pretending that three things is two is boring. Share some weird ideas about where people you would put in the third category should go to the bathroom.
I am not trolling I am trying to explain to you that no sex at all is not a sex. It is the lack of it. It is not a third sex. Say I have a full glass of water, then I have an empty glass of water. Not having a glass is not an empty glass and could be anything. It could be not having an apple and exactly the same thing. It is not a function of a glass.
Say you have a boolean. It can be true or false. If it doesn't exist it is no longer a value of any kind. That is the null. The thing which doesn't exist. It doesn't mean the boolean has three options.
You're not a very interesting troll. You keep going on about the same ”2=3" thing. If you have a nullable Boolean variable that variable can be in one of three states. If you have a cup holder, full cup/empty cup/no cup are three values.
Someone who wasn't trolling would think to themselves that maybe Doctors know more about physiology than they do.
You still can't think of a good answer for what bathroom this third sex should use can you? I think you should say we need to build a third standard restroom. Since, as you say, not having a glass is the same as not having an apple, this bathroom would be available to anyone who doesn't have a sex, which is to say anyone who currently has something not in their possession.
Ooh, or maybe anyone not producing gametes can use either restroom? Or would it be that they can use anything as a restroom?
That's a fun one. "Postmenopausal ~~women~~ persons are legally allowed to pee anywhere because stopping gamete production makes you lose your sex".
Obviously you don't understand the point. I'll just leave you to it. Good luck with that.
You objectively suck at trolling. You're just giving up on your stupid joke before you can even get anyone really riled up?
You can deny reality all you want. Most of the world disagrees with you and only sees man and woman. The genetics are XX XY and dead ends at rates low enough to not matter. When you're talking about how many heads a person has do you say it's more than one because there are a couple people with two heads? No you say humans have one head. Stop focusing on the freaks.
If I'm talking about how many heads a person has, I'll count their heads, not decide reality before I observe it.
You're still too stuck on that one bit though. Now you're insisting that a person with two heads has one. It's a fun twist but the same joke.
I really want to see you develop your toilet humor though. I know you must be able to come up with some stupendously baffling answer for where people who don't fit in your binary world view pee and what goes on their driver's licenses when you've dictated that there's only two options, and anyone who doesn't fit into those three boxes based on a concrete, scientific genetic screening we'll give to all infants along with followup to verify gamete production is insignificant to the point where we don't need to think about where they pee or what goes on their drivers license except for nothing matters more than where they pee and what they put on their drivers license so we need to talk about nothing else except for stuff that doesn't matter because people who don't fit into our binary are so uncommon that they pose an urgent threat to women, girls and their sports.
I really want your best material for where they pee.
Your middle school biology courses were written so you'd have the foundation to be curious enough to learn more; and yet here you are, no more educated than a child that still statistically wets the bed during a nightmare.
I sincerely hope you continue educating yourself, you have sipped from a spring and declared you have drank all the oceans.
Throughout the entire animal Kingdom, there is only two sexes. We are not fungus.
Again showing you didn't even make it to high school biology. Even in dimorphic species (which is so incredibly far from the only type in animalia) sex is never just binary. Chemistry is weird, chemistry in a highly chaotic system is even more weird. Dying on a hill made for children to stare at mountains is just pathetic.
Sperm and egg. What else is there. It's not a spectrum of speg and erm or anything else but egg and sperm. Sex is about the ability to reproduce.
Even if we accepted that definition (again, biology is more complex than what you learned in grade school), menopause or orchiectomies would make people neuter, meaning we're back to three sexes at least.
No. That's just two sexes and a null.
Yes, 3 options for sex, ergo 3 sexes. A system isn't binary if there are 3 potential valid values, you can call it null or whatever term you want but that's still 3 valid sexes even under your definitions.
Two valid and one invalid.
And two plus one is ... ? C'mon, I know you have it in you. You can do it little buddy! Or will you just say the same thing again because you're not good enough at this to add some spice to your troll?
2 plus 0 is?
Two! Now you do yours! What's two states a human can be in, plus one additional state a human can be in? I have such faith in you little guy!
It's invalid to go through menopause or other conditions that make you not produce eggs or sperm? Wow your definition of sex sucks, glad nobody serious uses it.
