    I would think “if you have a Y chromosome, you’re male” would be a better definition to fit what they’re trying to do

      Chromosomes are almost never tested at birth, and so 99% of people walking around don’t actually know what chromosomes they have. Enforcing any law based on chromosomes for purposes like this would be nearly impossible.

      There’s like a not insignificant 1% of people who are intersex where looking at chromosomes can get tricky.

      the thing is that there is no good hard definition of sexes, the best you can do is just go “they fill the general role of male” but guess what! that includes trans people :))
