"That statement is rooted in biological fact, not how one feels toward the people involved."

If somebody has two X chromosomes and a Y chromosome, are they female or male? If someone has XY, but the Y fails to trigger, are they male or female? If someone is born with undifferentiated reproductive organs, are they male or female? What about Turner Syndrome, where someone only has one full chromosome? All of the above are, if not common, then common enough that over the course of your life you've probably encountered at least a few cases of them.

You seem to have a lot of conviction that this is a simple matter, so explaining all these edge cases shouldn't be too difficult.
