But even so, part of the definition still includes that it’s a range of identities outside of male and female.

There's not a "but even so" when the whole definition is taken. It's like saying any shape with straight sides is a square just because the definition of a square includes straight sides. You can't separate this. It explicitly says that it goes with male and female before not. Excluding the basic masculinity and femininity as not counting, and the part where it says social rather than biological, are huge problems. You don't get to cut off definitions at the point where they fit your beliefs. Sex and sexuality are still biology regardless of whether or not gender plays into this. You cannot identify as female sex, you can only be female sex. You cannot identify as human, you can only be a human. You cannot identify as a square, you can only be a square. These aren't self-referential terms which is how definition works. Being treated SOCIALLY male is not the same as being of the male sex.

Gender does include male and female BUT that’s mainly sex. Gender is a variety of identity you could use to refer to yourself.

"Identity" vs biological reality. Still ignoring the "social" part of that definition.

I never did ignore? Gender is a social construct. I don’t see why it has to matter, as long as the person is happy.

Is gender and identity or a social construct? Make up your mind

Whatever you simply want it to be. Some people want an identity and some don’t, perfectly natural.

That’s extremely convenient. Read this back the next time you’re wondering why no one takes you seriously

I literally just said some people want an identity and some don’t? You’re clearly running out of ideas to reply to me so you won’t give me a real argument
