    Would you care to elaborate on this, and preferrably add sources for your statements (or pm me) so I can read further?

    is that “biological sex” is just not actually a particularly meaningful concept.

    It’s “meaningfulness” is secondary - it is most certainly a highly useful concept in the science and practice of biology and medicine.

      Biology actually has a lot of difficulty nailing down words like “species” as there are many useful ways to define a species in biology. Its not surprising that sexuality is a also a concept thats hard to pin down in biology. It is similarly highly useful in biology to define sexuality in multiple different ways - genetically, morphologically etc, but as a concept it doesn’t always fit perfectly and its an area where evolution likes to experiment, even in humans.
