Something being a widely accepted truth doesn't necessitate it being a fact. Personally I tend to go with the consensus of experts that study these topics their entire lives rather than crowd sourcing. Likely goes with my profession, but I value expertise highly in fields which I am not well versed. 

Do you? Or do you just go with the consensus of the experts that allign more with your own beliefs? Because actual experts(not some random person who wrote a book and has a degree in some BS human behaviour science) the vast majority of actual doctors and scientists believe that your chromosomes dictade your gender.

doctors are experts on sociology? Thought they studied mecidine, do I really give a shit what a cardiologist thinks about gender/sex? I go with the people that study this stuff. Who have PhD's in that "BS human behavior science" because we're talking about human behavior. I'm a scientist, I have a PhD in biochemistry, but that does not make me an expert on sociology. Believe it or not there are people that study that specifically and those are the people that I tend to go with. Just like even when something in physics doesn't make a ton of sense to me I still trust that the people who study this for their whole lives have a better understanding of it than I do. Similarly if a computer engineer is concerned about the effects of different ingredients in vaccines he should probably take my word for it over the general consensus about mercury. 

Also, I'd love a source on that claim about what most doctors and scientists think about gender/sex.
