True, though genders can be made up by dumbass people. It's biological sex that's definitely binary and there cannot be more than two. Now scientists are denying biological sex as a fact

That symantic game is not a real argument. The people who argue that gender is an immutable charicteristic of someone separate from sex are not using any reasonable definition, nor are they consistent with any of them.

If gender is the collection of non biological differences between men and women then no one has a gender because everyone can behave in any way they want at any time. In which case only sex has any real meaning.

The only way gender as a concept has any meaning is if it is intrinsically linked to biological sex. So everyone who is talking about gender is always inahrently talking about sex. The words are uses interchangeably, except when that disingenuous symantic argument is made in order to try to muddy the water to hide that you lost the argument.
