There are plenty of people who are, in every biological sense, a woman who cannot have a baby.

Its not "basic" science at all, the concept of a strictly defined "biological sex binary" is a fucking nightmare of complexity with edge cases all over the show.

From your post history you seem to at least be an ally if not directly part of the lgbtqia+ community so I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you simply haven't thought about this very much, but please take the time to reassess.

That’s true, and I’m not arguing any of the above. I’m pointing out where the concept of biological sex comes from, two sides of the sexual reproductive cycle.

You're confusing me. You seem to be conceding that its a silly classification that fails to successfully categorize humans into biological sexes. And at the same time, heralding it as the definition of biological sex.
