    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.

      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.

      Please provide source for that claim.

      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.

      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
