Beyond XX and XY: The Extraordinary Complexity of Sex Determination (www.scientificamerican.com)

I believe the problem is never showing evidence, but that the evidence is overwhelming. I could explain the general idea and, maybe, one or two specifics. People that use the XX/XY binary argument wouldn’t be able to explain either, but it’s usually only used because it conforms to a bias. And we are only talking about humans here. Language would implode if we tried to maintain convenient binaries and still back it up with science.

I don't care.

The site doesn't want readers, I'm gonna go back to reading memes.

You cared enough to comment. "The site doesn't want readers" what does that even mean?

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It means I open the site, and I can't read the article because it had some obligatory signup.

Granted, this was on mobile. On desktop it seems I can read it.

Ah right.
