This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

You're mixing your terms there. First you said 0.001%, but 1 in 1500 is 0.0667%. People who are intersex are less common than people who are transgender -- but both of them are rare. Recent estimates are that transgender people in the U.S. are 1 in 260, or 0.38% (ref).

No one disagrees that sex and gender are highly bimodal. The vast majority of people are neither transgender nor intersex. The issue is how we handle the exceptions. You say that intersex people have a "sexual problem", but that's putting your dogma ahead of the science in a circular fashion. They are rare, but whether it's a problem or not is an open issue. Among intersex people, there are many who are opposed to the common practice of doing genital surgery on babies, who are unable to consent.

As for scientific definitions of sex and gender, below is from the Journal of Applied Physiology,

For not even being a full half percent, they certainly are a noisy bunch.

Hate to mention it... NO, hermaphroditism isn't a gender, it is a genetic defect.

Lets see, where to start? How about some definitions?

Hermaphrodite Organism that produces both male and female gametes. You sure you know two human hermaphrodites?

Because True Hermaphrodites are 0.0012% or 1 in every 83,000 births

And a birth defect, or genetic anomaly isn't a new gender, unless you're saying that women born 0X aren't women.

So, given the rarity of this anomaly either you're lying or are the luckiest guy and should go buy super lotto.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.
