Did I read correctly that this is 50 out of 140,000 registered barristers, and that none of the fifty would(/could) define biological sex?

No, an opponent tweeted in reply that there are 16,000 barristers.

And rather than ask would/could they define sex, I'd rather ask whether they should, since biologists are the experts on that. Lawyers routinely consult experts on matters outside law. When asked, biologists can state the scientific consensus that sex is biological.
