You're confusing size and type. You can have two types with more than two sizes of a thing.

Look, I'll be direct. You are ignorant. You should fix that. This will help:

"Male" and "female" in biology refer to gamete type (males make relatively small, motile gametes — sperm; females make relatively large, nutrient-rich gametes — eggs). The presence of different sperm sizes or extreme sperm variation in species like Drosophila is variation within the male gamete-producing sex, not a category that removes the fundamental distinction that males produce sperm and females produce eggs.
