Though the issue of who we accept as male and female is indeed social. Factually, it's those of the sex that can ovulate, and those of the sex that can fertilize.
I know your done so honestly I'm mostly doing this to yell at the screen I don't feel it'll actually accomplish anything.
But, yeah no one follows that. No one ever walks up to a woman who is post menopause and challenges her womanhood because they can no longer produce children, or a man who has lost his ability produce sperm's manhood. No one says to someone who was born sterile and says you're not really a man because you can't get people pregnant. No one walks up to a woman who was born with a Uterus and says you're no woman.
Sex is complicated, incredibly complicated, there is nothing valid in defining gender by sex, it clearly doesn't work. Fact of the matter is we live in the real world which includes intersex people, XX male syndrome (and vice versa), numerous other chromosomal disorders, women who can't process estrogen (I've not heard to the reverse in men), and of course, transpeople. To deny our gender is illogical because truthfully even outside of transpeople I can't come with a single universal criteria by which to measure sex.
