    Do you know what gametes I produce, if any? Do you need to know what gametes I might produce in order to conduct this conversation?

    I think I’m managing to convey my meaning to you, and receiving your meaning in return, without knowledge of what’s happening in your abdomen/pelvis.

    Whatever concern you have about the terms “sex”, “binary”, and “immutable”, it isn’t scientific.

      It doesn’t matter what I think of you. The reality is that you produce one of two gamete sizes, and that determines your biological sex. This is binary and immutable. If you can’t agree with scientific consensus that’s fine, just be honest.

        Exactly.

        That is exactly the point. My sex is not a matter of your concern.

        Until you are trying to produce offspring with them, or providing them with medical treatment, you have precisely zero interest in the sex of another person.
