How can anyone take these fools seriously? Beyond ridiculous.

A Harvard-educated Texas Democratic lawmaker drew double-takes for declaring at a hearing that there are six sexes, prompting a rebuke from skeptics who said his count was off by four.
There is no reason to alter our basic understanding of genders, as well as our entire way of life, for rare anomalies and disorders. That's simply not how a functional, sane society functions. Science has known about these disorders for a long time now, yet they never pushed the idea of there being more than 2 genders before. Do we really need 6 separate bathrooms because of very rare anomalies? I'd like to know what changes people are proposing for these "6 genders".
It’s not simply cut and dry as Jamie Lee Curtis was born with both male and female sex chromosomes and the inverse can happen with predominately male featured individuals. There have always been various hermaphrodites but it’s based upon chromosomes and not how the individual feels or identifies.
Sex is either of two divisions, typically male or female,[a] into which organisms that propagate their species through sexual reproduction are divided.[1][2] Most plants and almost all animals employ sexual reproduction.
He explained that there are “six really common biological sexes” based on X and Y chromosomes: Not just XX (female) and XY (male), but also single X, XXY, XYY and XXXY.
Technically, he is correct. However, those last four are genetic mutations and are not common. Most of the syndromes that result from them are “not compatible with life” and the rest come with disabilities, mostly significant ones.
