Science changes as we learn more about the world around us. As we have learned more about human biology, the scientific understanding of sex has changed.If Bob has to convince the gynaecologist he has a cervix who cares most medial profesionals have enough of an understanding about there feild to know some people are built with some anomalies.
You should care, because the fact that things like that happen contradicts your belief that "making gender fluid removes any practical use for that information like medical care".It doesn't matter if early people didn't understand basic geneomics. We can clearly observe two sets of people, one male and another female that's obvious to everyone.
That is obvious. But scientists study the world more closely than what is obvious. And it turns out that sex is rather more complicated than what our ancestors believed before they had mastered fire.There are clear differences like males are larger and stronger, females have the ability to produce offspring, have a lower sex drive. Not even mentioning the anatomical, genomic, hormonal and reproductive differences.
As I said, the differences are real, but the categories we place on top of them are invented. And scientific study of the differences between humans has shown that sex is not a simple binary.It is found in nearly every species there are two sexes that play different roles in there heiarcies. And no it isn't determined by if you have a mental condition where you have a hormone imbalance or you have a mental illness it is determined by your chromosomes which cause you to develope sex charecteristics.
Chromosomes aren't the only factor in one's sex.And yes we do understand it quite well even if we have a lot more to learn in the field of genetics
You clearly do not understand sex very well.
Ok let me put this to you simply. Sex is determined by your chromosomes as is everything about you as that determines each trait that will appear and your chromosomes will determine the development of sex charecteristics. If you would like to point out how our understanding of sex has changed that allows someone to decide what gender they are based on no physiological factors without inculding neurology that would be fantastic. And no being intersex doesn't make you gender fluid you are a specific gender but due to an anomoly you developed secondary sex characteristics of the opposite gender.
I'd actually like you to defend your argument that proves not only is sex determined by your own preference but it can be changed. Also why do having new pronouns that don't reflect your biological gender in any way helpful to society or important enough you should be allowed to change your literal gender on your birth certificate.
