The statement engages in a public discourse about the understanding of sex and gender, referencing a Washington Post article and discussing statistical data related to intersex individuals. The tone is somewhat dismissive of the complexity of the topic, as indicated by the phrase 'Never ends, this stuff.' The intent seems to be to challenge or critique the way sex and gender are discussed in media and public policy.
