I think that allows the conclusion that sex is binary. 1 in 2000 people are born with limb defects and still humans remain a bipedal species. You can still add it to the passport and use different titles and whatnot. But the science is pretty clear about why and how many sexes there are.
There are some plants and animals that can change sex if the environment forces them to, but humans don't have such mechanisms. Guppies and weed come to mind, perhaps there is an ancestor of humans that could do that as well.
- soco 4y agoYou are right, yet the society is struggling exactly with what to add to the passport. And if you think about, why exactly do they need the gender/sex in the passport at all, in the age of biometrics? Isn't this a moot discussion? People fighting about a useless point, that's all what I see.
- thrown_22 4y agoWe're not. We're struggling with the decision of letting a one handed man identify as two handed and vice versa. The utter most ridiculousness of this mental gymnastics is calling women "womb carriers", that the sex treated as a baby incubator would have a problem with this is beyond some people apparently.
- jl6 4y agoI imagine border control find it helpful to have sex on the passport because in 99% of cases it’s an easily observable identifying characteristic.
- soco 4y agoDunno about you folks but I haven't flaunted me willy in a long while at the gates. Joke aside, I said "biometrics" - in which a camera and a fingerprint scanner can do way better than feeling my underwear.
