What about the people that are born with a penis and ovaries, where do they fit in?

There is obviously legitimacy to the notion of a third sex in the sense that, as you point out, intersex people exist and deserve our respect and consideration. I think there should be wiggle room with respect to such people when it comes to public policy. Taking the restroom policy issue we've been discussing, for instance, I'm good with having sex-neutral third options for the sake of intersex people who may not necessarily feel comfortable in either male or female restrooms. I think that's fine!

Being intersex is a biological reality for about 1% of the population. It's NOT an idea like being transgender.
