Features like height, facial hair, body hair, shape of face, shoulders, etc. vary a lot within sexes. I don’t think there is like any particular secondary characteristic that only women have and no men have or vice versa. It’s all just like averages so it can’t really be what sex is because if it were, we’d all be mixed-sex people. Sex is what gamete your body is developed around producing. Most of time, that means a lot of other characteristics will develop around that, but sex is just what developmental path you are own even if it didn’t work to where you had the gametes, or it was disrupted, or you changed parts of yourself. Like, I don’t have many male secondary sexual characteristics, am not very tall, and have had bottom surgery, but I’m still a male because that was how my body developed before I was born.
