Sex, not gender in this case.

So I had to look up what this means.

Sex is usually categorized as female or male but there is variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and how those attributes are expressed.

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people.

Well that's a new one to me. And it even feels redundant.

For example, if I say Football is a male dominated sport then clearly it has something to do with biology. Teams are never mixed, and attempting to add someone who identifies as female would put themselves at a disadvantage given the amount of physical activity involved...

And the same is true for a Trans person who goes frankenstein and adds male or female body parts. Their brain is still biologically male or female when they were born.

Tldr; It's helpful to know that someone being trans/non-binary is an output of gender, but what lies within their body is their sex.

Gender is not a thing
