I feel this way whenever I have to explain that, no, sex is not a binary related to XX or XY, there's lots of genetic variations (many of which don't fall neatly into male or female).
There's lots of stuff like that across a wide range of disciplines -- computer science, biology, sociology, physics, economics, etc.
For sure. Life is beautiful and nuanced. Anything significant is complex, and quantizing a spectrum, or at worst, making it monochromatic, takes something from its beauty.
