There was a (brief) time where we got along for a few months IIRC around a year ago...before that "stupid c***" meltdown. Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever be there again, which is sad, I guess.

I've never met anyone who thinks there are no differences between the sexes. Who are these people?
Feuerbach resolves the religious essence into the human essence. But the human essence is no abstraction inherent in each single individual.
In its reality it is the ensemble of the social relations.

There are definitely people who claim there are no specific differentiating characteristics between the sexes. They think people with congenital defects and developmental disorders prove this.

Whether something is a "defect" or a "disorder" already takes the view that there's something bad about it.
Finding four-leaf clover in a field of three-leave-clover: Is it a defect, a disorder or a lucky occurrence?
Saying that sex is a continuum (I'd rather say it is a combination of multiple different continuums) is not to say that there are not big clusters of individuals that one can label "male" or "female".
Just like saying the the spectrum of light is a continuum, that doesn't mean that there is not difference between red and yellow roses. But some cultures know more or less colour names than other cultures.
