…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:

Henderson is an interesting intellect. I'm going to read more of his work this week-end.

Be well, kid.

It is so interesting that for centuries it was left up to if you could produce children to continue the Gene pool. If you could not , it was usually blamed on the female of the pair to be at fault. This of course was not usually the case in less than half.

Then things were left to technology to decide who was male and who was female - X and Y chromosomes etc. and I guess DND was too but I am only guessing. But mostly it was easy to work out xx or xy. Simple.

Now it seems that sociology is the next ticket to have a bet on to see who is who and what is what. But now we have ventured into a different territory for those who solely relied on Science to tell up what or who was who. Things are more complicated than the way we used to think.

So much change in this last century that most of us can't keep up to understand what is fact or not.

The good thing is we are still learning and most have an open mind, but there are still dangers with labeling anyone these days. Either the current correct label for what the individual wants or a Scientific one which may be correct but not accepted.

Most people to be honest are still on catchup and honestly don't know what to do.

Not sure what you mean by scientific versus sociological. Science has found that there is a lot between XY and XX, not sociology. There are all kinds of genetical and biological conditions between unambiguous male vs female. Mosaicism, Turner, Klinefelter, androgen receptor deficiency etc.
And there is neuroscience, also a science, not sociology, that says the brain is the most important sex organ, and it can be biologically marked in opposition to the physical body in some cases.
Sociology is also an aspect, but personally I‘m more interested in the scientific perspective.
Anyway, an open mind is a good thing. 👍
