Race is a spectrum

Race is a spectrum, and sex is a binary…one of the few binaries found in biology. People have it backwards.

If a black person and a white person have babies, you get a biracial baby. Then if that baby has babies with an Asian, you get a triracial (sp?) baby. This goes on indefinitely.

This is not the case with sex. If a man and a woman have sex, you get a male or female baby, with few exceptions (like genetic mutations that result in both male and female genitalia, and these people typically cannot procreate during adulthood). But if two men or two women have sex, it isn’t like you have a trans baby.

It’s funny because if a Mexican “identifies” as a Jew, they’re called racist, but if a man identifies as a woman, it’s totally cool. Even though Jewish Mexicans are absolutely a thing, but men will always be men.

And there you go... So that's not binary either.

Except for about 3% of cases, which is quite a lot to call it an exception.

@NerdyPotato A small percentage of humans have only one eye. Does that make it false to say that humans have two eyes? Could it be said that eye count is a “spectrum?”

Exceptions to not negate rules. They prove them.
@RopinTexan you know very well that "equivalency" doesn't hold up. If you have any real arguments, I'm happy to entertain them, but I'm not going to enter a bad faith discussion.

@NerdyPotato Your argument that the existence of hermaphrodites proves that sex is a spectrum is equally bad. You also completely ignored the parallel I drew to race.

Why does my “equivalency” not hold up?
@RopinTexan you failed to bring up a real argument.

I'm not going to enter a bad faith discussion.

Thanks for acknowledging there's a parallel with race though and those aren't entirely different.

@NerdyPotato Why isn’t my argument “real?” Just because you don’t like it? Or because you don’t have a good counter argument?
