More bothered about stirring up hatred than acknowledging the facts.
Reminds me of John McCain back in the 2000s complaining about rising violent crime. When confronted with official figures showing it was decreasing, he said people think it’s increasing and that’s more important than the figures.

Zelensky is disrespectful for not wearing a suit, yet it’s OK to wear not one, but two baseball caps?

Ovotesticular syndrome?
Sex is currently determined at birth but the gametes the baby may or may not produce later isn’t part of it.
There are so many flaws.
And I’m not suggesting I have a solution, just that attempting to imply something is easy & binary, when it’s clearly not, is not helpful.

So by your own admission, it can’t be definitively decided as a true binary thing at birth.
And that’s before getting into various conditions and syndromes that don’t reflect the absolute binary definition.

So what’s the infallible binary definition based on then?

Even genetically, it’s not a binary thing though.

Looking forward to this as I’ve been wanting a new sketch show for ages.
I’ve been rewatching classic sketches from The Sketch Show, Mitchell & Webb and Armstrong & Miller etc to tide me over.

It’s a dangerous cycle - thin squad, injuries and a packed schedule lead to over-playing players.
That leads to fatigue and the likelihood of further injuries, compounding the issues and making things worse.
Rinse & repeat.

Loads of comments from fans and pundits brushing off the injuries at Spurs as if that’s the only issue & claiming Bournemouth is a fair comparison.
Bournemouth have played 5 games in January - 1 midweek game.
By the time the end of the month rolls round, Spurs will have played eight!

A major part of part of good, accessible design - do not use colours as the sole way of conveying meaning.
In my industry it’s a WCAG fail and shouldn’t pass assessment. We actually have a legal obligation to produce accessible services.
Product designers could learn a thing or two!
