    Scientists, including biologists, disagree on sex being purely binary.
    Let me take a wild guess, you did NOT read what you linked, right?

    I certainly did. Did you? The process of sexual differentiation in the womb has multiple steps, each influenced not only by genetics, but also hormones and environmental factors just like any other part of human development. The result is that binary male or female sex is not a guaranteed result. The second one in particular talks about that.

    Here is a good and thorough Twitter thread on the subject with citations.

    He's talking about people who are classed as intersex, it is still classed as a disorder of development. It is not common, it is not the norm and a lot of folks who have these orders have health issues due to it. Most people who are born into this also don't call themselves 'they/them' a lot of them are happy simply picking their gender they consider themselves - less 'they/them' and more 'he/she'. I suggest not speaking for them unless you are one of the rare individuals who was born like this and even then don't it's rude, you can't speak for the masses. They do not need white knighting.

    They speak of physically intersex people, not mentally. Even going to the point of "It is worth noting that I never talk about transgender in this thread. Intersex is not the same as transgender. You can be one without the other, or be both. " So, they are just doing what a biologist does.

    Using Twitter as a reference is... probably not a good idea. Briefly scrolling through the responses and you already have people with verified credentials discrediting the person. I won't comment myself on the subject because I have no interest continuing down this rabbit hole. What I'll say instead is this remains a very divisive topic that is best kept away from a gaming forum.
