The point they are making is that nothing in the physical world is going to be truly binary. Even when we try to represent abstract binaryness in specially designed ways, such as we continually do with computing equipment, there are always going to be edge cases in the physical representations used. So they are making a very pertinent point. Trying to deny a binary phenomenon in nature, such as the male/female sexual split, by pointing to various edge cases is just intellectually dishonest.

The more important point is that when those abstractions are harmful to electronics it’s an engineering problem, but when they’re harmful to humans they’re deadly.
