Nobody said that. Nobody would say that. Be reasonable.

If you're actually interested in understanding what I'm saying, this article does a good job of explaining it in lay-friendly terms.

So, if neither variation of sex characteristics nor personal identity defines the category of sex, then how can we define it? The answer is simple. The category of biological sex is defined through what developmental pathway you went down for the production of either sperm or eggs--the two, and only two, gamete types.

Nah, variation in sex characteristics is a way better measure than gamete development, because variation in sex characteristics actually relates to the person as they exist now. Grown adult human beings are not gametes.
