For this one it's the chromosomes. For Rowling it's the gamete production (except when she decides the penis is the problem).

Maybe they can't even settle on a consistent criterion because deep inside they'd love to be able to gatekeep what a woman is on a per case basis.

I assume they just want to ban bathrooms.

I've been to San Francisco; I know it can be done.

They're not rich enough to so it Diogenes style, though.

Of course. I can't imagine they'd be happy letting a cis man and trans man get married, for example.
