Sorry I don’t quite understand. Human sex is bimodal continuous, right?
When I search, what comes up as an example is the distribution of customers at a diner open from 10am to 10pm. Most customers arrive around lunch time or dinner time, but a few folks arrive at 2:30.
Most people have pretty standard male or female biology, and most socially identify as male or female. But there are a subset who don’t.
That’s not an absolute rule - but it’s distribution around two common points.
I’m not up to date on statistics, but “continuous bimodal distribution” seems like an accurate description.
Edit:
> This bimodal distribution would still be continuous, as it would be defined by a mathematical function, rather than being a collection of discrete data points.
Ok so then human sex isn’t continuous- just bimodal.
To by fully correct we can say that discrete collection of data points collected from individual humans like levels of testosterone can be described or modeled by a bimodal continuous distribution.
My point is that the model is indoctrinated to oppose the idea that there are only two sexes even tough it is the factual, scientifically agreed state of human species (with all caveats mentioned earlier and more).
BTW - the question whether physical world is continuous in the strict physical sense is fascinating by itself. There are real numbers that are uncomputable. Set of of all possible Turing machines is infinite but countable, because you could write down an algorithm that lists all possible Turing machines. But the set of real numbers is not countable. By the Cantor's diagonal argument it is impossible to list all real numbers. Therefore, some real numbers must be uncomputable. Are they really "real" in the ontological sense :) ?
