You're making the common mistake of equating gender with sex.
Gender is how society expects a person to express themselves and how an individual identifies. Sex is the genetic component behind it.
You also ignore the hormone component of gender expression. Someone could be born male, yet look feminine as a result of other factors and how they choose to express themselves. The reverse is true for women.
- tree_of_item 8y agoThe problem is that things like the USA's recent Equality Act go as far as to define sex in terms of gender identity. Trans activists are encouraging the equation of gender and sex. They want to say that people can identify as male or female because "male bodies" and "female bodies" are just a matter of perspective.
