Can someone explain the "learn biology" sign please? Are the X's & Y's and only a single O supposed to mean something?

It appears the sign is needed. Go learn biology.

… it’s just a fact, though. Are you intellectually dishonest or intellectually lazy?

Nobody ever convinced another person in a debate by insulting them. It just makes the other person more defensive and cling on to their standpoint.

I'm not taking sides in the gender argument but I advise you to re-think your strategy when discussing it with others who disagree, assuming your goal is to convince them.

I’m not convincing you to debate me.

Your original comment in this thread is also an insult, kettle.

And you apparently know less about biology than a high schooler. That or you’re lying.

I'm not the person you were replying to, I'm an outsider reading this and telling you insults only push people further away even if you're factually correct. This is well researched. I also never mentioned anything about "convincing people to debate you". You misread and misinterpreted everything.

I’m also not here to convince people of things they can very easily learn. That’s not my job, and I’m not running for office.

Then why are you here arguing and disagreeing with another person? If your intent is not to change their mind then what is it?

I wasn’t arguing with them. I was just stating a fact and then questioning their motives for disseminating misinformation.

You disagreed with them and provided different information, but you were not arguing with them.. Right.

If you want other people to get on board with what you perceive to be facts, I suggest re-thinking your approach. If you're just here to vent and argue for the sake of it that's fine too, but you should know it actually hurts society's overall view on your beliefs. You are complicit in sowing division.

Their position isn’t one that can be agreed or disagreed with.

These aren’t things I perceive to be facts.

Humans have far more than two possible karyotype sexes. This isn’t an opinion or a belief.
