Technically, the existence of intersex people only proves that SEX is not a binary thing. GENDER is an entirely different concept. I mean, yes, gender is even less binary than sex (if there is such a thing as a measure of how binary something is... I like the irony 😋), but technically intersex doesn't say anything about gender. 😉

True, i was just commenting on how people conceptualize gender as two opposite categories of either male or female, basing said categories on anatomy. for that reason, i was saying that the presence of individuals with ambiguous and/or "atypical" genitalia/chromosomes supports why the gender binary fails to encompass everyone's identity :)

Intersex is basically the third sex. Intersex people might have both male and female genitals, or their genitalia might be something between those two.
