The purpose is to show sex forms a bimodal distribution when measured and plotted. Can you show anyone who has ever done this with real data? Or is it just ideological stupidity?

I think you are imagining a one-dimensional variable that has two modes, which is a simple case of something being "bimodal", but not its definition. Bimodal just means having two modes. Those modes could be in conceptually 1-dimensional or N-dimensional, qualitative or quantitative.

Saying "sex is bimodal" is describing, qualitatively, that in a population (of, say, humans), there are two places in the distribution that are more common than all the others. Stressing "bimodal" rather than "binary" indicates that although those two places are more common there are others, too.

There are no measurements that lead to the conclusion that sex is bimodal - no matter how you formulate that.

Kathryn has been walking you through them very patiently.

Kathryn has failed to say why we call the brown birds female. She knows the answer but is too intellectually dishonest to admit that, so she has been blustering.

Do we call the brown birds female? Because here, you make it clear that's an error. bsky.app/profile/quac...

Yeah, tons of them. I already have. But there are thousands of sex-linked traits, so . . . which ones would you like to see plotted?
