I don’t care what discovery magazine says. It’s wrong.

On what basis? Is that a fact or your opinion?

Here's the original source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1087184599911295?via=ihub

This is my field of expertise.

Herpetology is my field, do you specifically study reproduction?

Intersex is not another sex category as much as your want it to be.

Why not? I don't want it to be, it just seems to be as a matter of fact, by your definition, they produce two gametes, that makes them a third option no?

It’s a defect. Plain and simple.

You couldn't explain why it's a defect. This is just your opinion. You gave an example of a defect with sterility, but intersex people are not necessarily sterile. How do you make intersex a defect as a matter of fact, rather than your opinion?

There are only two sexes in human biology. This isn’t a debate.

Except for the thing you call a defect based entirely (it seems) on your opinion. It can really go either way, you just want it to go a certain way because you have feelings involved in it. I don't, that's why I can be objective and say, this isn't necessarily a defect and can count.

This isn’t a debate. This is how it’s taught and it’s taught this way for a reason.

Except it isn't taught that way at higher levels, because things are often more complex than they are at the simple levels, for the same reason species is taught as things that can't interbreed at the lower levels.

Do you know the definition of a species? You don't seem to know the difference between fact and opinion.
