If we agree that we cannot use the names Male and Female as physical classifications, then we have a problem with some implications on medical treatment and law enforcement.
Ambulance paramedics and police use these binary terms for very good reasons.
Ambulance paramedics and medical emergency responders need to know ahead of time whether the person they are rushing to attend is male or female. That is because there will be a difference in what they expect, how the patient will be examined, diagnosed by symptoms that differ greatly between males and females, and how they will be treated medically.
Acute stomach pain gives responders a number of potential options for what is wrong with the person. If they are male, their stomach pain can be caused by a number of factors that are quite different from those complained by a female.
This is why responders want to know the sexual gender of their patient.
The response to men will be different from the response to women. Both sexes have different causes and symptoms of their complaints and conditions, which require different treatments.
You won't treat a man for possible endometriosis, post-partum pregnancy or other female diseases.
You won't treat a woman for possible twisted testicle.
With law enforcement, police responders want to know what sex their person of interest is.
That's because the response will differ depending on the sex. Identifying perpetrators is reduced by half.
Someone calling 911 to say they were raped is likely to be a woman and the suspect likely to be a man.
A violent suspect will receive a different repsonse if the suspect is a man, than a woman. The police will prepare differently.
We need to understand the reasons why medical professionals and the police need to know and demand to know the sex of the person they are interested in.
If sex was fluid, this wouldn't be needed.
Empirically speaking, men and women are different. They look different, they respond differently, they present differently, they act differently. Because they are different, we can prepare and manage their situation with the appropriate intervention.
Employers also need to know whether someone is male or female, to decide on how they will perform their function as an employee.
Think about how many forms you fill out that ask for your sexual gender. Why do they ask?
If it didn't matter, if it didn't mean anything, they wouldn't ask. But they do.
Why are we even having this argument? Why do we need to work so hard to show the difference between the two sexes?
Because some people have a psychological disorder that means they can't tell what they are, they feel they don't belong to either sex because they suffer a delusion of self.
Instead of treating the mental disorder of a tiny minority of mentally ill people, some people are supporting their delusion, reinforcing their delusion and are forcing us all to change our reality to suit their delusion.
How arrogant is that?
You cannot expect people to change their reality and understanding of gender just because you tell them to.
You cannot point to a dog and force people to say that is a cat.
You cannot tell people that they don't know what a man or a woman is.
Men are so different from women physically and mentally, we don't even question our own intuitive judgment.
Imagine the poor police patrolling the streets, looking for a suspect who is neither male nor female.
Imagine the police seeing someone near the crime scene with a beard, but they could be male or female.
Imagine the poor ambulance staff driving to a scene without knowing whether their patient is male or female.
Imagine them asking a man if he is pregnant. Asking someone who is pregnant, if they are male or female.
Then we have sport.
Sport competitions are divided into male and female categories. Imagine if we were forced to remove this division and accept any sexual gender into a competition. Men competing against women in athletics and sport achieved through muscle mass and height.
Teachers are also forced to deny their reality. A student complains of period pain. Are they male or female? A male student can be excused from class for period pain or needing to attend a pregnancy appointment.
All this bullshit assumes that even the dumbest adult can't tell the difference between men and women.
All of the professions above need to know the sexual gender of their people of interest. But how do they confirm that?
They either ask someone who's with the person and believe them, or they look at the person's appearance themselves.
They don't need to see their genitalia, their sex chromosomes, hormone levels. They just need to look and listen and they know.
That's because women and men appear different, act different, sound different.
We don't need to ask everyone, Are you male or female?
