    No Y = 0

    Presence of Y = 1

    Looks like you can express it with binary if you want, though you would need an interpreter

      You can have a partial Y chromosome or transfer of Y genes to the X chromosome during meiosis which can result in a person with both sets of sex organs, or more rarely, no sex organs at all. Even genetic sex cannot be accurately represented as one bit (let alone gender identity).

        Why are conservatives so obsessed with people’s genitals?

        In both of those cases you can determine whether a y is present or not

          for one, a person’s genitals are not necessarily a direct indication of their biological sex, even without considering bottom surgery

      That’s a chromosome you encoded there which is one of a few markers that define sex, not gender.

        Same thing

        It’s meaningless to who the individual is, unless you’re a conservative that believes playing with dolls or wearing makeup makes you a girl but then I don’t care for your opinion

          Yes, chromosomes are meaningless to who someone is (except edge-cases).

          No, sex and gender aren’t the same.

        Imagine enforcing gender roles by treating them as separate things

          We could do laps on this all day. In the end if a trans person says they’re trans and this is what it means to them, I’ll take them at their word.

            Of course we’re taking people’s words for it

            It would be weird to force people to do a genetic test every time they meet someone new

            That’s not relevant to the discussion

      except that genetics isn’t that simple, there’s many many things that go into structuring your body. Even biological sex isn’t binary, there’s plenty of overlap. People can literally be born with both sets of genitals afaik.
