One fact supporting critical gender theory is that there is no single attribute exclusive to all members of a biological sex. Not all born-men have penises, for instance, or the same male genes, or even XY karyotypes (cf. de la Chapelle syndrome). Sex, then, is a ship of Theseus.

Wow, that's interesting. I'm on the same page, but I think that pomo-junkies using these types of extremely infrequent exceptions as justification for completely disregarding established sex categories probably says more about postmodernism than biology.

It is never the chromosomes that are important, its the genes on those chromosomes. Saying X and Y is what determines is a convenient simplification, but it has always been the SRY. If you have XX with a SRY translocation you are male, or XY without you are female.
