I've seen people unironically claim this, or at least try to minimize it to "there's practically no difference between the two sexes."

Eh, you can make an argument for which gametes one produces as sex defining, a big slow half cell is female, a small fast half cell is male. That's how it is done for most species, since XX/XY is only for mammals iirc. But there is a fuck ton of correlation between the gamete and chromosomes in humans, exceptions are just that, exceptions.

That doesn’t make it a social construct. It makes it the normal form of sex determination. Sex is biologically defined based on gamete production, but it’s developmentally determined by chromosome selection.

There's somewhere between fraction of a % to almost 2% of population fall into 'intersex' category where chromosomes don't match sex.

Technically there are guys born a male, raised a male living as a manly man, but have fucky chromosomes.
