The observation that a characteristic exists on a spectrum, and the observation that the vast majority of individuals fall on one of two extremes of that spectrum, are not mutually exclusive.
For the overwhelming majority of organisms, including Homo sapiens, all proposed indicators of sex (anatomy, hormones, cells, chromosomes) give the same answer. Reading the final two paragraphs of the paper, it's obvious that attempts to muddy this naturally clear water are being made for political, not scientific reasons.

This is just another way to divide people and create pointless discussion about a non-issue so we can praise the "tolerant" and chastise those who see it for the agitprop it is. FTFA: > So if the law requires that a person is [sic] male or female, should that sex be assigned by anatomy, hormones, cells or chromosomes, and what should be done if they clash? Easy, have laws not discriminate by gender. Isn't that the point? No need to discuss biology on and on to help some agenda.
