Gender and sex are not interchangeable!

Gender can be whatever tf, but sex is what you're born as and that never changes ever

It's kind of depends what your using it for. No one is going to do a chromosome test just to see if your id matches. And really anything outside of that is changeable. Surgery hormones ect. It says sex on the ID. But unless you want to do those test each time you check the ID we use it as gender. And even if you do those test. You wouldn't be the first person who lived there whole life as one gender but turned out to have the opposite xx or xy chromosomes without knowing. Its rare but it does happen

Sex can change and is not as binary as many of us were taught. Even if you mean sex as in chromosomal sex, in which case there are many variations and like many people living with no symptoms of variations.

Yeah I was referencing chromosomes for sex there, and yeah definitely a chart it's not scientifically binary at all

It still seems to be what you're born with, it's just that there's plenty of options for how you're born
