Removing for rule 2.

This would be better suited for s/GenderCritical or s/ThereAreTwoGenders

This argument always makes me so fucking angry, just utterly nonsensical. If there were another sex, it would be a true hermaphrodite. Sex is ultimately determined in humans and animals by the biological role we could hypothetically play in reproduction. It's only ever been variations of female and male in humans, some functional and some nonfunctional. We should be embracing the diversity of the male and female bodies instead of othering people who happen to have been born with a genetic condition.

I get irrationally mad at how condescending they are, lol. People that have any disagreement with their logic must be unenlightened and incapable of thinking for themselves.

XY does equal male. Because of the sex-determining gene (normally) located on the Y chromosome. Chromosomal abnormalities does not change that.

Everything after that is a result of your biological sex; if you develop normally, a person bearing the SRY-gene will develop male primary and secondary sex characteristics. Changing those characteristics after the fact doesn't mean you've changed your biological sex in the slightest.

The most accurate determining factor of biological sex is sperm production vs. ova production, which she doesn't even bring up.
