And even biological sex is a bimodal spectrum. People always ignore the existence of intersex people, but I believe it occurs at a higher number per 100k people than trans. I could be misremembering.
Intersex people exist in the same capacity that people that have down syndrome exist.
People don't go around going. Oh they're fine. They're just intersex. It's considered generally a birth defect that brings with it a lifetime of medical issues that otherwise would not exist.
It's perfectly fine to accept them for who they are or even who they want to be, but has absolutely nothing to do with the idiotic question that anti-trans people pose such as "what is a woman".
In the same sense that people don't say, what is a human being in reference to down syndrome.
What bothers me is that even talking about this such as my original definition gets me downvoted because I don't immediately agree or accept the prepositions in this post.
I have no obligation to blindly accept anything!
And it's 1.7% of births in the world which is quite a high number considering.
you see that 1.7% figure a lot, but it counts conditions which do not cause sex amibiguity, including a full 1.5% of late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia which is not diagnosed at birth
