Saw this clip between Walsh and the trans identifying male. This is why the TRA would rather hurl vile names and resort to violence, because they would lose every rational, calm discussion.

As a biologist, I just correct them to say Variations of Sex Development instead of 'intersex'. Variations occur across the genome in autosomes and sex chromosomes. The variations in autosomes, no matter how extreme in consequence, do not make the individual not human, e.g. a person born without legs is a legless human and their existence does not make human beings no longer a bipedal species & all humans on a leg spectrum. The variations in sex chromosomes do not make the individual neither sex or both sexes, and even if it did, it wouldn't put all humans on a sex spectrum. Another thing I like to ask is if a person with Down's is not human, because, following their logic of a karyotype of xxy, a sex trisomy, being not male or female, the logical conclusion would be that monstrous.
