For not diseased individuals chromosomes are binary as you can get, base 2 with each X or Y!
Are you saying we should write rules that take into account the 0.1% like XYY or XX Male?
I'm not sure the weasel words of opportunistic lawyers or gender rights campaigners make much difference to biology, but at the moment they control and profit from the debate!
No matter what you choose to be labeled, your chromosomes are ultimately the tell!
DJC, if you or your descendants dig up Mouncey's bones in a few thousand years as part of a forensic investigation, you find male features and male chromosomes and identify the remains as most likely male. That is a reality that no legal paragraph or political slogan can change!
