The sum of them does not make a binary definition of sex, nor does it make an unchanging one, as I’ve said before. If you want an unchanging binary definition you need to define what that would refer to.
It has long been an argument of the trans community that gender and sex are different, which Im not disputing at all but you are trying to make unclear.
I agree, gender is not sex. However, sex is not just something you’re born with, as we’ve clearly seen with intersex characteristics and also being able to change the body with HRT.
I know the difference between primary and secondary sex characteristics. I have said nothing that should indicate otherwise. You’re just trying to be the “well actually…” person. Obviously primary sex characteristics are not the definition of sex. If they were then men males who have their testicals removed wouldn’t be men males and women females who have their overies removed wouldn’t be women females. You agree that’s wrong, correct? (I know, asking these questions is pointless because you just ignore them, but hopefully they make you think.)
Sex is many things, which includes things effected by HRT and surgery. Saying “biological sex” to refer to sex assigned at birth is dismissive of this, right? (Not to mention it’s totally wrong if we agree sex many characteristics.) If so, we should avoid the term, correct? It’s not the same as gender assigned at birth, right?
Edit: men => males, women => females, because I could forsee the “technically…” coming.
Artificial changes to a body are just that, artificial.
Inserting an rfid chip under my skin doesn’t make me a credit card. Taking some hormones doesn’t make you female.
This incessant boundary shifting and virtue signalling that everyone must play along with the artificial and pretend it is reality will never see broad public acceptance.
Changing gender is real, changing sex is not and you could go ahead and provide a definition of sex that is holistic and entirely changeable with current technology if you disagree.
