Thank you for your reply. I don’t think we disagree that much, but I’m afraid we may be miscommunicating a bit.
What determines “biological sex”?
Chromosomes? Except someone with Androgen Insensitivity may have XY chromosomes, but physically appear to be female.
Genitalia? But we have intersex people with ambiguous genitalia
Testosterone? Caster Semanya
Full disclosure: this seems more your field than mine. I don’t think I’m educating you, just trying to clarify my point. It seems like you’re arguing against “There’s no such thing as assigned gender at birth”. What I’m saying
that there is no objective way to categorize all humans into neat little sex boxes. Biological sex is a spectrum with most people either at the “male” point or the “female” point, but some examples everywhere in between.
