Then it's not a binary system. It's a system with two extremely dominant members. Those are different things. You can be more binary in specific contexts e.g., gametes and egg vs sperm.

I'd be very cautious about the healthy description in reference to intersex people. I don't believe you are trying to say anything nefarious, but there's a reason it shows up in eugenics arguments.

I didn't say sex was a spectrum, though perhaps someone else you were speaking with did. I wouldn't use spectrum for sex, since there are multiple differentiating factors with differing measures.

It helps if you read and comprehend the comment chain to understand what is being discussed before you jump in with ‘I didn’t say that’ when I never claimed you did.

I don’t see why it’s so hard for you to actually read the comment chain. It is right there. You can re-read it at any time.
