""In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION. Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation. Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female."

Which is basically why the IOC gave up on trying to biochemically determinate the gender of athletes in the 1970s.
Yes there biologically 2 genders. And these last bit of odd outliers. Some even show outward oddities like both sets of genitalia, many are only odd on the genetic level while the outward expression is normal.

@RustedComputing Chemical exposure, development quirks and other things may play a role. Intersex and other things are real things. And some are genetic quirks, too. Some people don't biologically fit neatly into the binary, even without any other thing. And those women who have a mutation which suppress male development even though they are biologically XY...

@knittingknots2 I think it's because gender is set rather hard at conception time. I'm sure there are exceptions. There are always exceptions. I wonder how numerous the exceptions are. Can we influence sex at all after conception before birth?
