Biology doesn't deal in absolutes. Chromosome anomalies are extremely common. Here's an example of an XY woman who is/was fertile and had a child, "Report of Fertility in a Woman with a Predominantly 46,XY Karyotype in a Family with Multiple Disorders of Sexual Development" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2190741/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2190741/
Biology isn't a switch that we flick, it's a messy process with results that are often outside of human expectations; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_male_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_male_syndrome
Somewhere around 1% to 2% of the human population has one of these conditions. That's quite common.

I'm going to let other people comment on the recent incident, but how about Jewish Nazis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National...

I think it applies to our world. The world is complicated and we want simple solutions.
Can speech be violence? Yes. If I incite a mob and use that to murder someone, then the speech I used to commit that act was a form of violence. Speech is powerful. It can be thoughtful. It can also cause people to view one another as cockroaches and then go around slaughtering their neighbors until all is a pile of rubble.
