No but like it actually is. There is such diversity within what most people would call a rigidly defined "biological sex".
while all of this is fascinating, i think the user was replying off a gut instinct to the interpreted rejection of biological drivers factoring in to sex. hearing "biological sex is a social construct" doesn't read the same as "biological sex as an enforced standard is a social construct that prefers the binary of male and female," because that is ultimately the point being made; not that genes themselves don't matter, which is what people like the poster hear/see when flat statements without context are made.
Yeah, I don't disagree. But also genes are not a suitable criteria for the post context (r*pe survivors receiving support) so the distinction is moot here imo
ah sure, i get ya.
