"The implication, then, is that there are people who think they are one gender and those that really are." No. There are people who believe in innate gender and people who don't. I don't think women have an innate gender. Everyone has their own personality. Everyone has a sex.

You aren’t engaging with this substantively. How do you define biology? If my testosterone levels are as high as someone born with a penis how would you classify me? What if I had xy chromosomes but was assigned female at birth? What about trans men who decide to become pregnant?

Human beings develop along two different pathways in utero. Male & Female. Usually XX chromosomes result in a female baby (not always, in rare cases the SRY gene which is normally found on the Y chromosome gets translocated to an X. (1/)

1 out of 100 babies are intersex. That is not rare, that’s millions and millions of people.

Most so called "intersex" conditions, disorders of sexual development are specific conditions effecting either male or females. For example MRKH effects females, born without a vagina. women not a third sex. Babies born with ambiguous sex are much rarer https://www.parliament.scot/S5_European/Inquiries/CensusBill_DSDFamilies_CTEEAS518CB33.pdf …
