Sex can both be too complex to define, and binary

See my chapter in my first book, Brain from 25000 Feet, on why there is vagueness.

A woman is an adult human female.

It is not "cartoonish" to say there are two sexes.

Intersex exists, thought it is vanishingly rare. This is well known. It is not the point.

The debate is not about intersex, it's about reality vs. pretending.

It is not left vs. right.

This "science moment" offers obfuscation, not clarity.

Don't play their game, sex is NOT hard to define. There are two gametes. End of story.
