@jeymccreight The point, Dr McCreight, is that only two sexes have evolved. People constantly appropriate DSDs as debate tactic when, frankly, it has nothing to do with the sexes being binary. This causes distress to many who genuinely have these conditions.

@stephenwhittle @Baroness_Nichol 1. Not all species are anisogamous. That doesn't mean anisogamy didn't evolve long before humans produced words to describe it. 2. Nature doesn't 'understand' anything - but nature exists regardless of our linguistic descriptions, including males and females. Stick to the law.
