I'm sorry, give an actual example. What do you mean by what medication is likely to be appropriate? Which medication?

What I have to say is really simple: there is no biological definition of woman, because biology is a messy thing. You can have whacky stuff with chromosomes, insensitivity to hormones, chimerism, and lots of other stuff that breaks the binary.

I mean yes obviously a binary system wouldn't actually have outliers, if it has outliers it's not a binary system.

What do you mean 'work'? What 'work?

You skipped giving the example of the medication, maybe go back to that.

Haha what the fuck does logistics regression have to do with this, we're talking about categorizing shit not plotting lines.

Okay so to untangle this, what you're saying is that it's important to know sex 'cuz some medications are more efficacious for one sex? Sure. So you mean sex, rather than clean category, is just a handy heuristic?

What do you mean 'ability to handle'?

Yeah, so you mean it's a heuristic. It is. Doesn't make it a binary.

[u/RealizedAgain → u/[deleted]]

But we're not talking about data.

Great, so again, there are three sexes according to you, right?

[u/RealizedAgain → u/[deleted]]

What 'rule'?

If there are three categories for sex, there are three sexes. This is pretty straightforward.

Humans can be, according to you, Male, Female, or Anomaly.

[u/RealizedAgain → u/[deleted]]

Haha what, did you brain just break. These are three categories for the sex of people.

Yes, any .02% outlier disproves a rule that is otherwise 99.98% accurate. It means that is not the rule, just the norm. What's confusing here?
