if you delink gender from biology, people who self-identify as women are overwhelmingly the same people as those who are biologically female. This just amounts to observing that only a small percentage of the population is trans.
If you delink 'gender' from biology what is it you think people are self identifying as? Is it something in your head/personality ('I think like a woman') or is it just a polite word for sex?

Can you define it? You are asking to replace a perfectly good definable, objectively, observable thing - sex - with something subjective and undefined.

no I'm not, I have expressed no view (here) about the merits of option A or B

yes, all that identity stuff you don't hold with. the validity of that is completely besides the point I am making, which is about the consequences of taking the view you disagree with as opposed to the one you agree with

I will (and have) talked about consequences, but first I want to bottom - out what your Option B is. What is gender? It is unrelated to sex, but we assume that everyone recorded in data as F sex also has a F gender... What is it?
