It just don't stop.



Definitely over simplifying here, as I can only half-remember, but "biological" sex is not just a spectrum, but something like 40+ different spectra, many of which weren't even discovered until lately as part of like pharmaceutical trials.

Like, someone will find a drug that "works" in 90% of men and "doesn't work" in 90% of women and then they figure out that it's because it interacts with a very particular hormone or neurotransmitter or something that most men produce and most women don't, but there's some crossover, and then there are people who are somewhere in between. Now, this particular transmitter is otherwise completely transparent; you wouldn't know if you have any or not unless you went looking for it, but it turns out - sex-linked!

Does having that chemical in your body affect your sex? Your gender? Who knows?! Maybe! Now multiply that by like four dozen.
