    …that’s not how that works.

    Early stages of development are bipotential, which means they could develop either way, they’re not initially female.

    Around 6-7 weeks, if carrying a Y chromosome carrying the gene SRY, they develop into testes. If there are two X chromosomes, then ovaries develop.

                The point is, it’s binary. Non binary would mean there’s a lot of different options. There’s not. Just two.

                  I know what you’re saying, but how is this any different than non-binary people that are between the binary of male and female…? Male and female are binary, but if at conception you are in an in-between state, that doesn’t get more non-binary lol.

                    Nobody is actually none binary. They can say they are and we can pronoun them as such, but they’re physically one or the other. So, binary.
