I defined it. In the only sensible way that it can be defined. Sex is meaningless without reference to reproduction.The spectrum theory is only useful for ideological/political reasons. And before you say it (yawn), someone doesn't need to be fertile or have all the structures to be male or female.

I gave the clinical ranges to show the huge difference in T levels between men and women. This whole ridiculous conversation was because of my simple assertion that men have physiological advantages over women in sport.

I shared the graph because you seemed to think elevated T or reduced T makes someone less of a woman/man.

Christ I'm not sat here just hanging on your posts dude.
The "developing toward" part of the definition is to capture those *extremely rare* cases of people with DSDs where only a medical expert could tell the sex through imaging and tests. Some of them, because of their condition are infertile.

The graph isn't showing people, it's showing morphological traits. Each person is a collection of traits. The traits don't define female/male.
Sex is defined by the development towards producing either small or large gametes.

For example men on average are stronger than women. The purple overlap shows the area of men and women as strong/weak as each other. Or maybe it could be women with very big clitorises and men with tiny micro-penises. Those things don't define their sex. Should I go on?

It says morphological traits. The people under male and female are male and female-obviously. You could do this for each trait and the shape would look different, this is just illustrative of the concept of variation within the binary. You can call it bimodal if you want - for the observable traits.

Here's an illustration of how there is overlap of sex characteristics within the binary.

I'm watching it for the first time. The production values are excellent but the storylines are getting a bit stupid (Season 3).

Sex is binary with a lot of variation of sex characteristics under the two categories of male and female. How could there be *no* overlap? That's ludicrous.
As for testosterone, the range for men is:
193 to 824 ng/dL
Range for women:
Less than 40 ng/dL.
A bit different, hey? 🤔

I did not do that. But thanks for your comment fantasy femme.

The physical differences between men & women is such a basic uncontested topic that I'm not going to bother finding data for you. There are overlaps with individuals but that doesn't undermine the need for separate sport categories. But the testosterone of a male is way higher than that of any woman

Oh, is *that* how you define a woman? 🤣

No such thing what?
I'm not "dehumanising" anyone. You're dehumanising women by saying biological sex attributes are irrelevant to sport.

I never said "fixed". But they are going to need to understand if their condition has caused a level of masculinisation that would preclude them from competing against women.
