It is binary if you define it as a concept of reproduction, which it is. Every human that has ever been born had two parents. Looks pretty binary. Intersex people and edge cases cannot reproduce naturally, to my knowledge. So only those belonging to those two specific biological categories of sexual reproduction (males & females) can reproduce.
I never said that those who cannot reproduce are not human. Those who cannot reproduce are not a category of those who can. Those who can, in case of human sexual reproduction, have only two options.
“None” is not a colour. Thank you for proving my point.
People’s bodies are still organized around the production of either sperm or ova, even if they’re unable to reproduce due to a developmental issue. You can call that a third category if it’s useful to you, but that doesn’t form a third sex as understood by biologists.
Also sex is defined by a pair of chromosomes, at conseption sex cells merge, each of them has only 23 chromosomes, the resulting cell has 46, which is why they say that sex is defined at conception, you can’t determine the sex at this stage without destroying the single cell (zygote), but the chromosomes will not change nevertheless

So those who cannot reproduce and aren’t in either category are still human. And therefore in a third category.
Red, blue, none. Three categories.
Also, intersex can sometimes reproduce.

Please provide source for that claim.

Intersex is a confusing term, and doesn’t dispute the binary. People are still male or female, with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development
