Sex is not Binary!

When discussing this topic things can get dicey, so for the record:

• Intersex people are not inherently non-binary
• Intersex people are not a mythical third sex
• Intersex people can be male or female. This is not an argument against allowing intersex people to identify with a binary sex or gender
• When I use the term "sex-variant" or "varsex," I am talking about any situation where someone's sex characteristics are outside of the norm. This includes a lot more people than one might expect. It is not synonymous with intersex, as it can be used for people with different sex characteristics from artificial or environmental changes.
• When I say sex-variant/varsex, I am including trans people who have taken steps to transition
• Trans people who do not take any steps towards transition are transgender. The only reason why they will recieve a lot less focus is because I am focused on percievable sex characteristics. They are always valid, and I hope I can end up including them more as I learn more.

A lot of the time the idea is that if there is no third sex, then sex cannot be non-binary. This is a simple misunderstanding of what a binary is.
