[PLUG-TALK] Alan Turing is an isolated tragedy...

I am curious as to Mr. Robinson's opinion on XXY people (those born  
with both typically "male", and "female", chromosomes), as well as XX  
people born with penises, and XY people born with vaginas, and the  
whole range of other human variants of varying gender (joined twins,  
women with testicles, etc.)

The reason: The terms "male" and "female" seem to have been tossed  
around a lot, without any clear definition, as have the terms  
"homosexual" and "heterosexual".

It's very "dark-ages", pre-science, pre-genetics..... let alone DNA.  
While it makes for interesting fodder for the under-12 set, I should  
hope that most adults in the US have had a basic elementary school  
science education.

Example issue: are two intersex people, or slugs, or whatever, with  
both functioning penises and vaginas, considered homosexual if they  
sleep together?
