What is Gender?

It's another word for biological sex.

I'm sorry if this offends some people here, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Science exists for a reason and you need to respect biology. I'm sorry but chromosomes are real. The biological sex of a human is real. Otherwise it's just theory, science denial, and made up bs.

Women = xx chromosomes, men = xy chromisomes. Period. 

And this is absolutely no disrespect for trans people. I love trans people and don't discredit them at all, I know there's a legitimate psychological trait that makes them trans, and I also realize they go through a lot of shit and I totally respect that.

But straight up men or women who simply identify as the other gender with zero surgery, hormones, etc.. Why are we giving credence to this? If I identify as an alien, am I an alien? What's so wrong about simply stating you're a man with feminine qualities, or a woman with masculine qualities? At what point does this all break down and just become shit we made up? And if we're going to start splitting hairs this much, why have categories at all? Why not just say every single person is a unique gender? To me it's pretty much either all or nothing. And you have to have a foundational basis in these categories otherwise everything just breaks down, blends into eachother, and you have nothing.

I truly apologize if I offended anyone but I swear it comes from a good place and that these are my sincere, honest thoughts on the matter.

So the guys for example that are born with ovaries (in addition to the normal parts), what are they?

Some are saying birth defects, but if we go by science XX and XY,  where do these kinds of people fit in? Are they simple an XX or XY with a defect, or is there some sort of mutation with the chromosomes?
