  > (not the wishy-washy definition that has been debunked from your study). [1] Your single study isn't a debunking. Leonard Sax is a gender activist. He's also just one person who has no degree in genetics. I provided citations of actual research institutions with actual geneticists working for them. > Seems pretty flimsy to claim a 99.99% match rate is wrong because of extreme outliers. I didn't claim it was wrong. I claimed it wasn't "cut-and-dry". Nothing you said refutes that. In fact, pointing out any kind of controversy on this topic proves that I was right: there is no clear, undisputed genetic test for someone's sex.

    There is no clear, undisputed test for coronavirus. Does this mean testing is not effective? Notably, testing for gender has an accuracy rate that is orders of magnitude more reliable than all conventional coronavirus tests, including multiple PCR tests back-to-back. As for Eric Vilain, the physician who advocates for extremely harmful (UN's definition) sex assignment procedures on intersex people [1], his wishy-washy definition includes people who have minor genital deformities, according to his own paper. [2] Just to be crystal clear to drive this point home, Vilain is an advocate of a procedure that causes "severe and life-long physical and mental pain and suffering and can amount to torture and ill-treatment" [1] and which is condemned by intersex advocacy groups. [1] According to the UN, he is a vehement proponent of torture.
