A Princeton University anthropology professor claimed that it is "bad science" to believe biological sex is binary – only male and female – by basing it on reproductive cells.
The Ivy League professor, Agustín Fuentes, has specialized knowledge in "racism," "sex/gender," and "chasing monkeys," according to his biography page. He argued in the "Scientific American" Monday that biological reproductive cells (gametes) – such as sperm and egg cells – does not delineate whether someone is male or female.
"Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary," the headline states.
Fuentes then blasted Republicans for questioning Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings last year. Biden's SCOTUS pick could not, or would not, provide a definition on what the term "woman" meant.
"Can I provide a definition? No, I can't… Not in this context, I'm not a biologist," Jackson responded.

"That human sex rests on a biological binary of making either sperm or ova underlies all these claims," Fuentes wrote. "This is bad science."
The professor explained that the production of sex cells in animals "does not sufficiently describe sex biology in animals, nor is it the definition of a woman or a man…. While sperm and ova matter, they are not the entirety of biology and don’t tell us all we need to know about sex, especially human sex."
