Description

Rounds:

1. Opening arguments only
2. Rebuttals only
3. Defense
4. Closing argument

The resolution is self-explanatory. My opponent must prove that human gender is binary (either male or female, no in between) while I must show the opposite. BoP is evenly shared.

The time limit between replies is 2-weeks. If special circumstances arise, one side may ask the other to wait out his or her remaining time. If one side explicitly concedes or violates any of these terms, then all seven points will be awarded to the other. By accepting this challenge, you agree to these terms.

The burden of proof is shared.

My mind leaped to a fun kritik of this topic...

I mean, it's a brief first round with no rebuttals so i'll be interested to see how this plays out. On second thoughts, the "flaw" I saw is more of a kritik. I'll mention it after the debate is over.

@Wagyu

Con’s argument is of a simple yet deadly flaw.

@Intelligence_06

Hmm...?

@Wagyu

Hmm...

@David

Yes, that'll be great.

@Wagyu

Want to debate me on this next?

-->
@David

I see a literally game ending flaw in your argument, though I won't mention it now.

-->
@Sum1hugme

That’s what I was thinking. I’m sure i can make a strong case but with a strong debater like David initiating this debate , I’ll be interested to see if he has any cards up his sleeves.

@Sum1hugme

I actually don't know. David is very scary in religion, but this societal basis idea is more ambiguous.

I'm excited to see just how bad of a mistake I've made

-->
@David

I look forward to getting this over with with you lol

-->
@Wagyu

Go ahead!

Very tempted to take this. I'll see.
