I mean, it's represented in the DNA by having the one or two X chromosomes. You could grab some zygotic DNA and run a PCR test and see which it's going to be before it ever stops being a blob of cells.

Your logic is totally broken. "What they feel like" is completely different than an actual genetic marker which can be measured and quantified. This DNA has this, This other DNA has that. Feelings have nothing to do with it. The legal definition becomes about a quite simple PCR test, rather than the fuzzy world of infant development or the fuzzier world of gender identity.

As I've already mentioned, this test won't be correct in a small number of cases, but as a general rule it'll be correct 99.95-99.99% of the time which is good enough for government work.

I like how you admit that it goes for everyone except the people it doesn't go for. Solid grounding.

Yes, well good arguments require taking into account all the facts. Bad arguments refuse to consider facts that don't fit.
