you're making the same mistake as you were initially. sex is a lot more complicated than "sperm or egg" and this reductive binary is no longer sufficient for scientific purposes.
Reread my first post, including the part you quoted at me. I don't know why you think you're educating me or disputing what I said. 'Scientific purposes' are specifically acknowledged in my first and second post in how I account for multitudinous intersex conditions and the fact that this knowledge is valuable for the knowledge base of humankind, but claiming high-level, minute variation in the main categories as a gotcha is not useful or intelligent.

How is treating the peaks insufficient now? Human reproduction and sex has not changed in the past twenty years and these new discoveries while fascinating are not evidence that overturns anything we've understood fundamentally about biological sex, reproductive sex or the way gender is meted out and enforced cross-culturally.

If sex and gender aren't the same thing (they're not, but you can't have the latter without the former), what is the value in the rhetorical expansion of biological sex into an unknowable mire of magic and variability?

We still don't even know how the broad 'female' body works because it hasn't been considered worthy of study except for birthing purposes. Our entire oppression structure of Gender, in all societies, is based on female reproduction and the meeting of sperm and egg and the world doesn't even understand what causes miscarriages yet. The male and female categories are useful scientifically and sociologically, on top of and even separate from the sociological categories Man and Woman.

There are two SEXES. "Gender" can be open to interpretation if you want.

"there are many ways someone can identify.
Non-Binary, Transmasculine, Transfeminine, TriGender, BiGender, agender, etc etc etc"

Those people still have either a penis or vagina.

Sorry for not being born during the 2010s. I come from a time when it did.
