did you read the link? there are humans with ambiguous genitals (fka "intersex"), there are women with androgen insensitivity, genitally xy, born as perfect little girls, vulva and all, but alas, testicles. bummer

no. sex, biological sex, is not binary.

I know that not every single human fits.

That does nor stop it being a binary, or that binary being a major fault line

This is a natural biological system, not a logical system. Cases that do not fit do not disprove the rule

		the strict binary is a world view, not science. scientifically, biological sex in humans follows a bimodal distribution with few but not zero data points between the two modes. and these are not just one single third data point but a number of them. forcibly assigning those to one of the two modes is unscientific and based of a binary world view. which is why some nations allow to put "diverse" as sex at birth, or do away with that at all.
