It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What’s more, I don’t think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!
I mean, it depends on how you define the term “biological sex”, which really is a fuzzy term that can refer to distinct things. There’s two types of gametes in humans and intersex people and everyone else still has X or Y chromosomes not Z or something. In that sense there are very much two sexes. Phenotypically of course there’s tons of variations but unlike with plants an individual carrying both male and female gametes in one body is exceedingly rare, that is, our biology does generally speaking prefer our reproductive phenotypes to be dimorphic whereas the biology of most plants is happy to have individuals carry both types, switch around, and whatnot. It’s wild over there. Imagine you’re hanging out with the gals and because there’s so much gal pheromones floating around your body decides to switch into hairy woodchuck mode and grow a dick. That kind of flexibility is generally not what enbies mean when identifying as enbies.
…because that’s just the reproductive aspect. It gets progressively more complicated and less sensible to talk about a binary the further you get away from that, what we get instead is bimodal distributions: Distinct peaks, but also overlap. Sticking to easily measurable things: The height of an individual human (within a single population and social class i.e. let’s ignore malnourishment) is not entirely useless as a predictor of that individual’s sex. Once you get to general behaviour, let’s say “enjoys walks on the beach more than going clubbing” all bets are off.
