It doesn't matter what arguments I give you, you're dug in. That's what's boring - every new angle anyone tries with you just gets the same old tired "my science is correct and infallible, yours is wrong" response. "Arguments" like that are boring. 🤷

You're welcome to spice things up with any sort of support for your argument. It is kind of boring to keep repeating "No, let's not reject science" I'll admit, but you're certainly not providing anything of value.

I'll help you out. Here's a link someone else provided (ironically supporting my point exactly):

Anisogamy is the definition of sex

and

In animals and plants, binary sex is universally defined by gamete type, even though sexes vary in how they are developmentally determined and phenotypically identified across taxa.

and

the Tri-societies were wrong to speak in our names and claim that there is a scientific consensus without even conducting a survey of society members to see if such a consensus exists. Distorting reality to comply with ideology and using a misleading claim of consensus to give a veneer of scientific authority to your statement does more harm than just misrepresenting our views: it also weakens public trust in science, which has declined rapidly in the last few years.

Real biology right there. From real biologists. You're not arguing with me, you're arguing with the scientific consensus as now explained to you directly from said consensus. Reality doesn't care about whether or not it bores you. It's true regardless.

Are you serious? Like, you can't be serious at this point. I sent that article to you, like 4 comments ago. We've already discussed it, in this very thread. 🥱
