There are definitely more than 2 sexes. There are XX, XY, XXY, and XYY.

    Those are literally abberations and detract from the actual discussions. Nobody cares about those edge cases, discussions only go there if there is a "but actually..." thing going on

    like you just did

    No one cares, except for all the people who do.

    Maybe the problem is that people don't care and make uninformed statements?

    But its literally the same as if someone asks „how many fingers are on a human hand?“, the answer being 5 and you going „actually the answer is 0-10“ because some people with deformations got born with more or less fingers than usual.

    The problem isnt uninformed people, the thing is most people are more than aware about these things but are just able to see whats the point of the discussion and dont want to derail it.

    FYI, most medical literature will refer to intersex genotypes as male or female still with the presence of the Y chromosome generally defining the sex. For instance if you look up XXY on Wikipedia or similar, it will usually say “XXY male”. On crossover events, it’s still characterized as male and female but usually as “XX male” and “XY female”
