==About==<br />
"[[Biological sex]]" is an [[weasel words|ambiguous term]] that is often used to [[conflate]] multiple concepts relating to gender. In the majority of cases these concepts do align in polarity (i.e. if one indicates femaleness or maleness, the others will indicate the same), but in a number of cases they do not.<br />
===Attributes===<br />
It can refer to the following, where "(F)" and "(M)" refer to the typical gender-alignment in each case:<br />
* '''reproductive role''':<br />
** whether one plays the role of penetrated (F) or penetrator (M)<br />
** whether one provides the ovum (F) or sperm (M)<br />
** whether one gestates (F) or not (M)<br />
* '''assigned sex''': the gender-label one is assigned at birth, almost always based on genital configuration<br />
* '''genetics''': the sex indicated by one's chromosomes, with most humans having either an XX (F) or XY (M) sex-chromosome<br />
<br />
The term could also be reasonably construed to mean any of the following attributes, which tend to be overlooked in public discussion:<br />
* overall hormonal balance (estrogen-dominated or androgen-dominated)<br />
* brain configuration (typical brains tend to have certain specific differences by gender)<br />
<br />
In most humans and animals, these attributes are both unambiguously binary and unchangeable &ndash; but there are numerous exceptions, both in humans and even more so in nonhuman animals.<br />
===Myth===<br />
Due to the conflation of these various attributes, and also the relative rarity of exceptions, it is often assumed that they are universal and that "biological sex" is some innate or [[cwre:Myths/Humans cannot change sex|immutable]] property of an organism. This logic is then often used to deny the existence of exceptions, especially among humans, especially [[transgender]] and [[intersex]] people &ndash; a form of [[hypernormalization]].<br />
<br />
Similar arguments were once used against [[homosexuality]] and [[feminism]].<br />
