Oh yes there are *so* many flaws in their definitions.

folks with the genes for AIS/CAIS appear female, but don't produce eggs *or* sperm.

Exposure of the mother to certain chemicals during the right stages of pregnancy can effect sexual development. Including possibly being one of the reasons for the kid turning out TG.

Other intersex conditions can result in ovotestes which produce lord knows what in the way of "reproductive cells". Still other problems can result in *no* gonads.

I've got a photo from a long gone web site about intersex conditions that shows a female child with a penis.

Oh yeah, under Trumps order they could cause *huge* problems for any doctor that attempts to "correct" ambiguous genitalia. Surgery to permit *function* is arguably ok. But to make them "look right". Nope.

If we get really lucky, the lawsuits over this will *kill* the "there are only two sexes" idea *dead* once and for all.

I could wish that it'd lead to divorcing sex and gender, but that's a *much* harder fight.

Oh yeah, the only way to save that "sex is determined at conception" bit is to define sex chromosomally. And they went to great lengths to avoid that because of all the variations that even *they* may have heard about.
