      Sex is not the same in biology/science as it is in culture.

      What do you mean? Why not?

      Sex in culture may be a choice, in biology it is a given. Sometimes a bad interpretation of facts.

      Are you talking about the act of sex? Bees can be considered to have 2 sexes but 3 genders, female bees are either a queen or a worker. Male bees are called workers. The female worker bees do not have sex.

      If you mean genetic sex being a given, I’d bring up oxylotyls or the sex changes in frogs.

      Sex is not a given in biology, it’s very messy and complicated, maybe even more so than in human culture.
