…opinion whether that person looks and sounds female or male.
It is determined by facts.
These facts concern various biological facts, not just one:
- chromosomes
- biologically rooted sex awareness of the hypothalamus
- genitals and organs
- hormonal status.
Even if all of these criteria sum up to an unambiguous sex for most people, they do not in all cases.
Nobody can judge a person‘s sex just by seeing them and „feeling“ the person is male or female. Many ignorants suggest this is possible, and your perception about a person’s sex is an unfallible instinct. This is total BS.
Two links, one about (biological) intersexuality, one from the neurobiologist Prof. Leslie P. Henderson about transsexualism and the brain as the most important sexual organ:
