You have the intellectual depth of a bag of gravel. Of course it is a hard problem of why we only see two sexes. The paper is all about showing how that has been solved.

The paper: “Reproduction does not require sex. It is one of many possibilities. We may never know exactly how this system evolved; it may have appeared in several different ways independently. The mechanics do not tell us the reasons behind it.” Quack: “YOU GUYS SCIENCE SAYS THIS IS THE ONLY WAY”

If I were to selectively quote something I hadn’t read, I probably would try to come up with a better excuse than “that’s all that’s needed to support my point.” And if I hadn’t selectively quoted, I’d simply provide the full context. Because that’s easier and less fucking weird than what you did.

That's a lie. You refused to fully outline the parameters of your question. Even after you claimed to shift to a framework of self-identity, you still kept trying to go back to the original undefined premise. And several people answered your question. You are just too dishonest to admit it.

Oh, dude. This whole paragraph (both your excerpt and the part you cropped out) are making the exact opposite point to yours.

Screenshotted excerpt from the scientific paper: “Furthermore, when gamete sizes are differentiated, there are typically exactly two sexes, no more and no less: males that produce small gametes and females that produce large ones; why not, say, 5 or 7 sexes? From a mammal point of view, one may say that this is very easy to answer: the mammalian XY sex determination system inevitably results in two sexes. But this is a ‘proximate’ solution—it outlines how we end up with males and females, and in equal numbers, with this par- ticular sex determination mechanism. In reality, there are many different ways in which sex determination and two sexes can be achieved in the plant and animal kingdoms (Bull, 1983). This implies that these mechan- isms do not tell us the ultimate evolutionary reason behind the number of sexes, or the evolution of gamete sizes.”

quackometer.bsky.social @quackometer.bsky.social

You are conflating sex determination with sex definition. The paper did not do this. It is just saying there are more ways of producing males and females than XX/XY. Sex determination mechanisms proliferate. Sexes do not. Idiot.

I didn’t do anything except quote your favorite paper back to you. You said it “shows why more than two sexes cannot evolve.” It does not. (And, just to be clear, it wouldn’t help your case even if it did. This study has basically no discussion or bearing on individual sex assignment.)
