You're just an angsty twat that got caught up trying to defend some extremely minor and inconsequential nuance. This has caused you to dig your heels in without even arguing correctly anymore. In a different portion you were arguing there were only 2 sizes of gametes. You were intending it to be 2 types. But now that you've said size you can't bring yourself to admit you were wrong on something so pathetically inconsequential. Just admit where you said the wrong thing and shut up about the stupid minutia you keep crying about.

Sigh. There are two types of gametes (in anisogamous species), defined by their size. There can be types of sperm or eggs, but those aren't different sexes, those are subtypes of the two gamete types/sizes.

You're so wrapped up in trying to find a gotcha that you've lost yourself to blind rage. When you're ready, the science will still be there, ready for you to discover it.
