What is it with conservatives and this "there are only two sexes" nonsense... Are they trying to convince us they arent any smarter than a grade schooler or something. Anyone who has had more than an elementary school education knows full well its not that simple...
@freemo it is that simple unless you list deformities and birth defects. I was ok with separating gender and sex but now this shit is getting ridiculous.

I don't know if anyone needs to hear this but klinfelter syndrome isn't its own sex, it's a set of symptoms occurring in males. XYY syndrome is likewise a genetic condition occurring in males. XY gonadal dysgenesis on the other hand is a genetic condition that occurs in females. There is no third sex and freemo is a fucking retard.
So the first thing to understand is that the intersex spectrum falls on a pretty wide set of variations and can manifest in different ways.
One simple manifestation is that a person can appear male or female yet internally have the other sex's physical components. For example a man can have ovarian tissue where his testicles would be (and they would feel and look like testicles) and a woman can have testicales where her ovaries should be. In fact its even more complex than that, a person can have what medical profesionalls call "ovotesties" which is tissue that is somewhere between the two and serves the function of each.
Here is a paper that talks about how specific hormones determine the development of the gonad tissue ont hat spectrum and how it can be measured as a non-invasive way to help measure ones natural place on the spectrum.
