Well no, the only major change is the sexual organs, but glad another scientific study can back up fact

Not really, at least last time I checked, breasts aren’t sex organs, even though there is some use…

Men can have breasts too it just isn’t considered generally attractive

Headline:

Organs Cannot Simply Be Classified as Male or Female

Literally the first fucking sentence:

Only sexual organs show clear separation

Okay, so the only ones anyone was thinking about…?

Sex is not binary.

Its not binary but it is strongly clustered into two groups with a small number of outliers from those groups.
