      a couple things here;

      1. you care why?

      2. you most literally can change the rules of language on the fly. that’s kinda how language works and is created.

      edit: removed the last comment as the previous guy was the one going on about sex first, regardless, differing levels of hormones can often influence this, considering males can have varying levels of estrogen and vice versa for females and testosterone. other animals often portray characteristics opposite that of their sex, as well.

      this is just an odd thing for you to care about. why wouldn’t you instead let people live their life without your criticism when they clearly are having trouble parsing their place in life and their understanding of themselves.

      Interesting fact: You don’t get a chromosome test at birth, so most everyone doesn’t know their own chromosome situation. And even if they do, after a costly and usually unnecessary test, there is no reason for them to tell anyone else. It is highly unlikely you have checked yours, and if you did, that would be your private information. And the so called “sex chromosomes” don’t come in only two combinations anyhow, as you admitted. Plenty of people never find out that their chromosomes aren’t in the combination that they think is most likely, or only find out after a fertility study. And they don’t suddenly change gender when they find out their unexpected chromosomal gender.

      In short: Your argument isn’t really based on fact. Think different.
