I have seen the discussion of sex determination and intersex conditions upthread and would like to recommend to the unfamiliar the writings of Colin Wright (
Quillette page,
Substack page,
Twitter,
Instagram), the managing editor at Quillette with a PhD in evolutionary biology. His articles are about the aforementioned topics, and I find his style straightforward and accessible to a layman like me.
Some sample articles:
—
Sex Is Not a Spectrum;
—
The True Meaning of Intersex;
—
Intersex Is Not as Common as Red Hair;
—
Sex Chromosome Variants Are Not Their Own Unique Sexes.

You should have seen his response to 'The Hood Biologist'. Biologically female, she transitioned to male and passes rather well, except she sperged against Zaelefty by using her credentials to say that karyotypes were proof sex wasn't binary. Colin Wright responded to her. She managed to get 22k likes and there was plenty of smugness against the TERFs. Zaelefty took it on the chin and carefully responded to the most popular claims.
As it turns out, she was a diversity hire with only a 3.7 GPA. That average isn't enough for Asians or whites to get into Harvard or any advanced medical program.
Here is her
pedigree. Her
website. Her degree isn't in evolutionary biology or genetics. It's in food apartheid. She only has two papers, none relating to hard sciences. She's nowhere in the league of Heather Heying, Helen Joyce, Emma Hilton or Colin.
Her account has been deleted, but she is still on Instagram. Here are some choice archived tweets.
The tweet that started it all:

She has a habit of adding BA and MA in two separate lines to give the impression she's smarter than you. When Colin responded to her, devoting an entire substack article on her tweet thread, she called him a 'colonialist cracka' and blocked him. Those responses didn't get 22k likes.
But, she knows full well that race exists. Because white people shorten black people's telomeres:

She despises white people. I mean a legitimate, deep seated hatred. Also goes on about the stolen land schtick, yet refuses to leave. Yet when asked if she would ever return to Africa - Ghana offers citizenship to any black American who requests it - she said she was not responsible for any historic land theft.
Her
Instagram. You can see testosterone has aged her considerably. With the beard, passes okay, but you can clock her based on the shoulders.
