The ability for two people to get pregnant is a function of biological sex (and other factors of course)

WHAT "other factors"? It's ENTIRELY a function of biological sex; that's what biological sex IS! Reproductive categories! Sure, both parties must be fertile, and his sperm needs to meet her egg somehow, but the whole one-person-of-each-bio-sex thing is THE prerequisite! Without THAT, no other "factors" mean shit!

but it's independent of gender.

Well, sure, in the sense that it's "independent" of Parcheesi, or believing that you're a vampire. Which is to say... irrelevant. Thus making "gender" a complete non sequitur here. So... why are you even talking about it?

So a gay or lesbian couple with one trans person and one cis person, for example, could get pregnant by accident.

But the only thing that MAKES these couples "gay" or "lesbian" is "gender", and we already noted that "gender" is irrelevant to getting pregnant, remember? Their bio-sex is male and female. LIKE EVERY OTHER PAIR OF HUMANS TO MAKE A BABY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.

NEXT you'll tell me that two HUMANS aren't even required cuz a "cis" man or "transwoman" can totally get an "otherkin" pregnant!
