The "0.00001%" is a fucking bug, it's a biological anomaly, a medical condition, just like trisomy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

Intersex people are individuals born with any of several sex characteristics including chromosome patterns, gonads, or genitals that, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies".[1][2]

In biology, the term "hermaphrodite" is used to describe an organism that can produce both male and female gametes.[17][18] Some people with intersex traits use the term "intersex", and some prefer other language.[19][20][page range too broad] In clinical settings, the term "disorders of sex development" (DSD) has been used since 2006,[21] a shift in language considered controversial since its introduction.[22][23][24]

>In response to Fausto-Sterling, Leonard Sax estimated that the prevalence of intersex was about 0.018% of the world's population,[4] after discounting several conditions including LOCAH, Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), Turner syndrome (45,X), the chromosomal variants of 47,XYY and 47,XXX, and vaginal agenesis. Sax reasons that in these conditions chromosomal sex is consistent with phenotypic sex and phenotype is classifiable as either male or female.[4]

In a 2003 letter to the editor, political scientist Carrie Hull analyzed the data used by Fausto-Sterling and said the estimated intersex rate should instead have been 0.37%, due to many errors.[68] In a response letter published simultaneously, Fausto-Sterling welcomed the additional analysis and said "I am not invested in a particular final estimate, only that there BE an estimate".[68] A 2018 review reported that the number of births with ambiguous genitals is in the range of 0.02% to 0.05%.[3] The figure of 1.7% is still maintained by Intersex Human Rights Australia "despite its flaws", stating both that the estimate "encapsulates the entire population of people who are stigmatized – or risk stigmatization – due to innate sex characteristics," and that Sax's definitions exclude individuals who experience such stigma and who have helped to establish the intersex movement.[69]
