Trans activists use these sort questions as some sort of gotcha to try to push the idea that "biological sex is a spectrum and can be changed". The reality is that sex is immutable and easily observible at birth 99.8% of people. For the remainig fraction who do actually need their sex assigned to them they are still clearly a subclass of the sex they belong to and it is insulting and othering to act as if people with DSDs are not "clearly' male or female.

Leonard Sax estimates that the true prevalence of intersex is [...] about 0.018%, which would mean 99.982% are not. Many intersex activists are super annoyed with trans activist appropriation of their cause.
