Even going with a chromosomal definition gets difficult quickly. It seems like that would make for a binary classification, but that's only mostly the case. There's XX and XY, sure, but 0.15% of people are XXY, and there are some with just a single X chromosome. There's even XXYY, or XXXY combinations (seems like mathematically we're halfway between male and female ratio here.) How about XXXXY? Nature is wild - it keeps life interesting. Also it doesn't care about our labels.

Wouldn't you consider those to be exceptions that prove the rule? If a child is born with an extra X chromosome, we don't hold our hands up and say that they are some new third gender, we instead see that they are a man with Klinefelter syndrome.

genetic, environmental and developmental variations

Convincing people that the environmental contaminants (pthalate poisoning and other estrogen mimicking plastics) that is producing this social disaster is somehow "natural" and "good" is one of the great psyops of the modern world.

Of course to the people affected by this, they will strongly resist the idea that its not natural, since their own biochemical makeup makes this feel completely natural and "who they really are" (which is true in a limited sense). Therefore the biochemically induced disorder is internalized as their own identity.

The really sinister group are the politicians who latch upon these harmed people and farm them for political support....all the while preventing the trillion dollar lawsuits that keeps the environmental contamination profitable.

Then we have these sort of fake "science" pieces written specifically to target the 110IQ crowd: Just smart enough read basic science articles and yet not smart enough to realize the game being played.

What's fake in here?

The shifting of emphasis from it being a correctable environmental problem to a social issue of lack of acceptance.

It would be like if I cut your arm off and then wrote articles saying: "We must accept IamSINGLE as he is and its societies problem for not accepting him....whatever 'environmental issues' resulted in him losing his arm are subordinate to the wider social issues of acceptance"
