Clarification: I don't think that because "male" and "female" are not unique, discrete, non-overlapping categories, there are "many sexes"

Telling intersex or transsexual people "you are biologically male/female" is to ignore biological complexity to save conceptual simplicity.
Also this is usually said in an effort to undermine the person's gender identity, and not for any genuine scientific reason.

People that use "but biology!" arguments to undermine nonbinary identities often don't understand real biology or its complexities.

Maybe that's not quite the right way to put it. It just seems like they haven't thought through where experience comes from to begin with.
