However when we say that someone is biologically male or female, we're generally describing a cluster of anatomical and physiological

characteristics (hormones, genitals, secondary sex chars), not just a role in reproduction.

So, when we use "sex" to refer to these clusters, it is incorrect to say there are only two discrete sexes, when many people exist in the
-
middle of the venn diagram. (e.g. male gentials but female hormones and breasts, XY chromosomes but vagina/uterus (Swyer syndrome)).

Another issue is that more than a few people do not talk about gender in strictly reproductive terms; they also use it define social norms.

Do you think someone who considers various gender identities valid is going to say "b*tch make me a sandwich?" at some point? Probably not.

What's more bizarre: people can be chimeric male/female on a cellular level. 46,XX ovaries in a 46,XYmale body. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19344081
