It is about having a phenotype associated with a gamete type. That is what we mean when we say an organism has a sex. Do you want me to repeat that again?

we’re so close! yes we’re on the same page now. phenotypes are not strict binaries. you can be naturally born and develop traits associated with both phenotypes. bimodal, not a strict binary. what sex are you if you have both a penis and a vagina?

Two phenotypes have evolved. They are quite different. Humans can be classified as one or the other trivially. Only a few very rare cases pose difficulties and require medical investigations to understand someone is male or female. Evolution has made this so.

PS Name the medical condition where someone has a penis and a vagina. And a case study perhaps. Or you are making it up.

everything i have named is a real kind of intersex condition but there’s over a dozen types/i don’t know all their names off the top of my head. ambiguous genitalia is typically how intersex individuals are diagnosed so i suspect there’s a few different conditions that produce it.

the point here is that nature produces people who exhibit characteristics from both phenotypes and often can still reproduce. bimodal but not a binary. some people really do have both. so insisting on a strict binary is (drumroll) a social construct. there are two, but also a spectrum

There are no people with both vaginas and a penis. That does nto happen. You do not know what you are talking about.

Exactly! A phenotype is an observable trait or characteristic of an organism, resulting from the expression of its genetic makeup (genotype) and influenced by environmental factors. They are female because they have a checklist of observable traits that add up to “female”, despite having testies

What makes these traits "female" traits?

Because our society deemed them to be based on assumptions about bimodalism that we have discovered through medical science to be an oversimplification, such as what we both agree to be the femaleness of the CAIS person, despite having testies, aka the means to make small gametes

That does not answer the question. That is a bullshit answer.

You continually confuse “that is not an answer” with “that is not how I want the answer to be”. Sorry, the world doesn’t work like that.

You do not answer., You flap around and hand-wave. You create an illusion that you have an answer, but it is a facade of deceit.

I answered directly, and instead of engaging with my good faith answer to your question, you insult me. You are not being logical or reasonable. Answers to your questions aren’t always going to be ones you like or agree with, and that’s ok!

It is not an answer as you could have replied in exactly the same way about the male end of this "spectrum". So you were not specific about why "female". It is very important to you, isn't it, that we never pin down what being female means. So you obfuscate.

I answered your question. Sorry you do not like the answer. Sometimes you will meet people who disagree with you. This is how the world works

You do disagree and you cannot answer my questions about yoru position without flapping around. But I suspect you do know the answers. Deep down.

It’s worth noting that this is not the case with every culture, with many cultures having other sex assignment options

Missed you post in the barrage. Please do clarify what we mean by the female end?
