I didn't close my eyes or ears and learned that there are many variations of biological sex, regardless of gender identity. Trisomies are the most common X and Y chromosome variants.
XXY (Klinefelter syndrome)
XXX (Trisomy X)
XYY
Less common are “tetrasomies,” which denote the presence of four sex chromosomes: XXYY
XXXY
XXXX
Still rarer are the “pentasomies,” indicating five sex chromosomes: XXXXY
XXXXX
These conditions can cause male presenting genitalia but female presenting bodies (facial structure, body structure, etc.) THey can present as the opposite. They can present as just male or female external genitalia or a mix of both. Even if we ignore gender identity, which is what "sex" people feel within their brains, just in biological sex there are more than binary options.
As I write this and read your global warming sentence I think you meant the authors of the executive order when you said "you guys"? I can't tell how to interpret your comment anymore.
