[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?
