I never said they were evolutionary biologists, try reading.

Their endorsing the claim is good evidence for it because they are literally the experts of the field.
I wouldn’t think evolutionary biologists are wrong about evolution unless there were good reasons to think so, same in this case.

What do you think the best explanation is for the datum that, in the biological literature, people with Turner syndrome are referred to as females? The best explanation for this is simply the fact that people with Turner syndrome *are* female, no?

As I said, I’m making the claim on the basis of biological literature.

I didn't provide a definition. I made the claim that people with Turner Syndrome are female, and biological literature endorsing that claim is evidence for it.

Wrong based on what?

So you disagree with that source? Why?

"Turner syndrome results from a deletion or the non-functioning of one X chromosome in *females*."

>So, when you say male, you are talking about the chromosomes.
No, I'm not.

>XX and XY are not the same as XXY or other combinations.
I'm aware, I never claimed they were.

Depends what intersex condition/DSD they have.
People with Klinefelter syndrome are male; those with Turner syndrome are female; individuals with Jacob’s syndrome are male; and women with CAH are female.

What would you say the definition of male is.
S is male iff S […..]

The trees that produce sperm are male the ones that produce eggs are female.

Their stance is that “male” and “female” arbitrarily refer to sperm/egg rather than anything else. But this is trivially true.
We didn’t invent males and females, we merely invented the words used to label them.

But you agree that males existed before humans? In effect, males predate the word “males”.

You’re thinking of someone else, I’m not a burner.

True.

Good point
comment in response to

No one needs to say they’re “platonic ideals”.
If they’re socially constructed labels, it follows that there were no males or females before humans. But that is false.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Thanks 👍.
