But I was accused of only posting things which agreed with my view? Well, duh...
Woman and Sex, means biological sex.

"Why shouldn’t children with intersex be raised in a “third gender”? We advocate assigning a boy or girl gender because intersex is not, and will never be, a discrete biological category any more than male or female is, and because assigning an “intersex” gender would unnecessarily traumatize the child."

How can you assign a gender (boy or girl) without surgery? | Intersex Society of North America
When you assign a child a gender as boy or girl, what you’re doing is labeling them a boy or girl. That’s it. You don’t need a surgeon for that.

Sex essentialism (the belief in binary sex characteristics) is associated with prejudice against non-binary people.

It's just a statement, nothing more, like the parachute one (it was claimed).
Do you not agree that bigotry usually gets people nowhere?
Himmy doesn't understand that anyone can write an article with any view they like.
Doesn't mean it's the absolute truth.
Himmy unfortunately is not the sharpest tool in the box, bless him.

This article is written from a religious perspective and relies on the premise that binary sex is the norm, as evidenced by this paragraph:
If this was posted earlier, then my apologies. This is my first awareness of you posting anything to support your theory.
That article doesn't support the theory that sex is purley binary. Their whole argument is predicated on sex being binary. And differences of sexual development is a disorder from the norm.
Rather like God exists because there is no proof that he doesn't.

"I provided a much stronger argument for their conclusion that intersex does not violate the sex binary. I showed this by problematizing Tuleda et al.’s (2020) argument, and replaced it with the strongest argument that holds the conclusion that “intersex” does not violate the sex binary. I did this on purely secular/nonreligious grounds (addressing Murphy's complaint) using the arguments of Byrne (2018a, 2018b) and Soh (2020)."

This is an opinion of Bo Laurent, aka Cheryl Chase the founder of Intersex Society of North America (ISNA), now defunct, since 2008.."Why shouldn’t children with intersex be raised in a “third gender”? We advocate assigning a boy or girl gender because intersex is not, and will never be, a discrete biological category any more than male or female is, and because assigning an “intersex” gender would unnecessarily traumatize the child."

While her aims were admirable, the article is based on her opinion.

I agree, and I know that the belief in sex essentialism (i.e. binary sex) is associated with bigotry and prejudice against transgenders.

It's all opinion in this field, it isn't like a mathematical proof. Some people have different opinions, which you seem to want to disallow.

But the article fails to use any scientific principles to support the idea that sex is binary.
The arguments are predicated on the conclusion that sex is binary.

I wouldn't disagree with that. But the belief in sex essentialism overtly or inadvertently supports prejudice against transgenders.
In addition medical science has been slowly coming round to the idea that sex is not binary, hence the numerous medical scientific articles available, and the numerous guidelines for neonatal specialists to follow in order to identify differences in sexual development.
I have repeatedly said that you are entitled to your opinion.
When that opinion is based on entrenched outdated beliefs then it deserves to be scrutinised.
But if you wish to cling to it, that is your choice and your entitlement.
Choo Chooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...
That is the nub of it. Opinion and terminology.

Science is slowly educating society.
It took a long time for science to debunk the "race" fallacies, and it's still an ongoing struggle for science to convince the race essentialists. that their beliefs are founded in bigotry.
It will take a long time for sex essentialists to be convinced, and some diehards will never consider giving up their sex essentialist belief.
